Yesterday, I ran across something that may be of use
to some of us sometime (hopefully not, of course...).
The Online Engineering Ethics website (Ethics Center
for Engineering and Science) has long had a lot of
valuable material, like the stories of the engineer
who tried to prevent the Challenger disaster, and the
engineer who, *after* he built the Citicorp building,
realized it had the potential to collapse in
high wind (the latter's story is more felicitous
than the former's)....
http://onlineethics.org/
They have a new service: An Online Help-Line for
engineers (I presume that would include people
like myself who, even though I've never had
an engineering course in school, am employed as a
"software engineer"...).
http://www.ONLINEETHICS.ORG/helpline/
I feel this is an important issue for science and technology,
the study thereof, and both the present and future of work....
"Yours in discourse...."
