Engineering Ethics in Southern Africa: Theories & Cases – Lorrainne Doherty
Dr Lorrainne Doherty discusses her book 'Engineering Ethics in Southern Africa: Theories & Cases' (Camera: Shadwyn Dickinson; Editing: Darlene Creamer)
The Engineering Ethics in Southern African textbook has been written specifically for engineers in this geographical region.
Not only does it provide an overview of moral philosophy and the various ethical approaches that can be applied in the engineering field, but it shares what it means to be a professional engineer in Southern Africa and provides insight into both professional and community expectations.
Local engineering case studies have been chosen to highlight ethical dilemmas and conflicts that can arise, and various ethical approaches have been applied to them to explain their cause and consequence(s).
Readers will find that this textbook not only provides them with invaluable knowledge for their careers as professional engineers, but that it will continue to encourage them to think ethically in their lives as professional engineers engaged in engineering projects and engineering activities.
