Description
Course Overview
Engineers have the obligation to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Training in the first two of these (health and safety) is generally the subject of Laws & Rules courses. Protections of the public welfare are more nebulous and harder to define in the law. This course will address a few of the public welfare considerations that confront engineers in the normal conduct of their professional life. The learning objectives are to increase the attendee’s understanding of:
- Optimization
- Honest Service
- Predicting Results
- Qualifications
- Reliance on Software
- Influence
- Standardization
- Automation
- Learn/Teach/Mentor
- Errors
- Respect
