However, others are of a moralor ethical sort without an apparent answer and academic training may not have adequatelyprepared new engineers for their solution. Little of the undergraduate engineering experience isdevoted to the potential moral, social, political, and economic issues they may encounter.Instead, they focus on the mathematics, physics, and engineering aspects of problem solving.Thus leaving a void in their preparation that should be addressed.The organization responsible for accrediting American undergraduate Engineering andEngineering Technology

Once there, the study will continue to evaluatetheir performance in the oil company’s CAMS system. Only then will we be able todetermine whether the ‘hands on’ education that they have received at the PetroleumInstitute has made any difference to their intrinsic motivation. It appears that at this stage,motivation and ability compares very favourably with the men.

He thenworks to define engineering through the ethical considerations of the profession. Additionally,to define engineering, he differentiates it from science. In a workshop given to scientists andengineers, he asked whether they would rather “invent something useful” or “discover newknowledge” 16. The scientists had a hard time answering and ended up split in their decision,while all of the engineers chose something useful. Therefore, he claims, “The primarycommitment of engineers is not to knowledge, theoretical or applied, as one would expect ofscientists, but to human welfare” 17. He concludes that engineers believe they are
