Engineering Ethics 2020
About This Event
“Engineering Ethics 2020” will be presented, jointly by Rossiter & Associates and the University of Houston, as a 1-hour interactive webinar, Wednesday, May 27, 2020, at 2:00 pm Central Time. Personalized certificates of completion will be provided for PDH records.
This dynamic new program incorporates both basic principles and discussions of real-world situations where ethical principles are applied in an engineering environment. The scope includes:
- Roots of ethics
- Is it ethical or is it legal?
- Codes of engineering ethics
- Engineering ethics case studies
*Certificates of participation will be provided for 1 PDH credit. The webinar is designed to satisfy the CEP ethics requirement for Texas and many other states. However, the Texas Board of Professional Engineers does not pre-approve or endorse any CEP activities. It is the responsibility of each license holder to assure that all PDH credits claimed meet CEP requirements.
