Engineering Ethics: An Industrial perspective: Gail Dawn Baura
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a most extraordinary book. Its contents range from valuable reference material on Sarbanes-Oxley and US engineering codes of conduct to some folksy, almost sentimental, personal case histories. But, remarkably, the author’s own personal commitment and integrity shine through on every page.”
- John Turnbull, The Chemical Engineer, August 2006
At first glance, this book looks like most other recent volumes on this topic. But where other books often written in whole or part by philosophers and academics - can be tedious for engineers who are not coversant with ethical theory, Baura definitely approaches from an industrial perspective. She also addresses the subject with a concrete problem-solving approach and with more elegant prose and a better organization than I find in other treatments.- Gael UlRich, Chemical Engineering 2006
Despite the US focus, the examples are presented with a level of detail that will enable engineers anywhere to understand the underlying technical and behavioral issues. It will be welcomed by those teaching engineering ethics modules, especially with the up-to-date examples we all remember from the news.- Julia King, Materials Today, March 2007
