In one paper, George Catalano and Caroline Baillie explored the influence thatengineers have on justice and peace, concluding that engineering ethics should be expanded tothe overall social impact a product of engineering creates [8]. Catalano explores this further byexamining engineering ethics as described within different professional engineeringorganizations. He poses that the main issue with engineering ethics is the demand that anengineer should work to protect the public without a specific definition of who that includes.Rather, the author
