electrical engineering ethics
Look for a professional code of conduct in your own area of engineering (besides the NSPE) and answer the following questions:
a) Is the code vague at some points? Where?
b) Are their potential contradictions between the provisions of the code? Does the code contain provisions to deal with these contradictions?
c) Are there any provisions that are impossible to live by? Which ones?
