Code of Ethics

Preamble

The further development of civilization, the conservation and management of natural resources, and the improvement of the standards of living of mankind are greatly affected by the work of the Engineer. For that work to be fully effective it is necessary not only that Engineers strive constantly to widen their knowledge and improve their skill but also that the community be willing to recognize the integrity and trust the judgment of members of the Profession of Engineering.

For this to happen, the Profession must be recognized in the community for

• its skill in using technical expertise for the enhancement of human welfare
• its loyalty to the community, to employers and clients
• its honesty and impartiality in professional practice
• Engineers shall so order their lives and work as to merit...
