Engineering Ethics

the engineeringof unmanned systems relates to current professional codes of ethics from a number of relevantprofessional engineering societies, and how they are addressed currently within the program’scurriculum. Finally, the paper addresses concerns regarding how and with whom technicalinformation regarding the design and operation of unmanned systems can be safely, responsibly,and legally disseminated within the curriculum and university sponsored programs.1.0 IntroductionThe term “unmanned system” can refer to types of systems that were traditionally controlledeither directly or indirectly through a human operator, but have through modern technologiesbeen automated to no longer require a human operator. Examples of unmanned systems

The current report format is reflected in the list of student groupactivities presented above – it would be a relatively simple matter to add or remove categories. Itmight be even more effective for a CE program to set their own requirements for their studentgroup’s report(s) such that the program has an annual source of assessment data to draw uponthat is catered to their individual program.
