Ethics is an activity which concerns with the investigation of moral values in moral issues. As for as an Engineer is concern he/she should have an ethical as well as a social responsibility to himself, to his subordinates and to his society. The set of standards adopted by professionals is called as Professional ethics. Every profession like teaching, medicine, law etc has its own professional ethics. The set of ethical standards that are applicable for an engineering profession is known as Engineering ethics. Engineering ethics is about balancing cost, schedule and risk in practical. Engineering ethics helps an Engineer to discover moral principles like obligation, rights and ideals in this field. Formal code, Focus, Precedence, Restriction, Two dimensional (positive & negative) and Role morality are some of the important characters of professional ethics. Few professional models are Engineer as Social Enablers as well as Catalysts, Engineers as Game Players, Engineers as Bureaucratic Servants, Engineers as Guardians, Engineers as Social Servants and Engineers as Saviors.
In our college we are conducting several programs related to Human Values and Ethics to enhance the character of the students. It is hoped that because of this effort made by the Institution towards Human Values and Ethics we ensure that the students are made aware of the problems and their possible solutions through self exploration. Also we ensure that the students internalize the fact that they have to respond to situations instead of reacting. At the same time, the Institution will facilitate the students to identify their societal responsibilities. Through the activities conducted an effort is made to rid society from the ills prevalent. Further through these programmes we ascertain that the students realize that they have a lot of potential which when realized will propel the society forward in a positive direction.
We also insist all our students to opt Professional Ethics in Engineering as an elective paper for those who do not have this as a core paper.
