Review "Very accessible and well-organized...I hope that many (future) engineers will read this book, so that they will learn to better understand the social and moral responsibility that comes with their chosen profession."—Lambèr Royakkers, Science and Engineering Ethics"Johnsons book is a welcome addition to the suite of engineering ethics texts currently available, especially with respect to those intended for undergraduate engineering students." —Richard Burgess, Texas Tech University"Johnson has written a compact, clear, readable, and well-organized textbook for use in Engineering Ethics courses."—Michael D. Jaworski, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley"Johnson has the perfect touch for elucidating engineering ethics debates. No one understands better the distinctions between individual behavior and organizational culture, microethics and macroethics, and conventional and emerging technologies."—Joe Herkert, North Carolina State University"This relevant and pragmatic book is especially timely given the accelerated pace of engineering innovation. Engineers of all backgrounds will find this very helpful as they navigate complex sociotechnical issues."—Missy Cummings, Duke University Review Quote "Very accessible and well-organized...I hope that many (future) engineers will read this book, so that they will learn to better understand the social and moral responsibility that comes with their chosen profession."--Lamb Description for Bookstore A leading scholar in the field of engineering and computer ethics provides an engaging, accessible survey of the most difficult and controversial issues that engineers face in daily practice.
