The finding from my research suggests that an interaction of individual’s characteristicsand characteristics of moral issues affect the decisions of individuals. This further supports theoverall argument of the ethical decision model provided by Trevino (1986). According toTrevino’s (1986) model, individual and situational variables interact with the cognitivecomponent to determine how an individual is likely to behave facing an ethical dilemma. Another finding is that although there is a lot of emphasis on ethical theories andframeworks in

To the extent that the Mississippi Riversystem acts as a complex system, the consequences of any single engineering action may beunpredictable and uncontrollable – i.e., resulting from hidden or multiple, interdependent causes– that undermine utilitarian reasoning.

Academia itself was seen as an engineer “churningfactory.” Don’t get me wrong. The curricula and our initiation into the industrialsector were top notch.

and discussions of engineering ethics tend to blur the distinction betweenethical judgments/decisions and actions/behaviors, assuming the ability to make ethicaljudgments/decisions will simply lead to ethical actions/behaviors – where unethicalactions/behaviors result from either a lack of knowledge regarding ethics or the inability to applythis knowledge. Charles Huff draws attention to this dichotomy, in terms of “decision-orientedapproaches to teaching ethics and approaches that are intended to develop ethical behavior overthe course of an entire scientific or engineering career.”26 However, personally andprofessionally, the actions and behaviors of others seem more important than their decisions andjudgments.For example, the decision of a
