Rules or codes of professional ethics serve as a guide to professional conduct. In this assignment, you will analyze and apply either the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) (Engineers) or the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) (Undergrad Construction Managers) codes. You will be graded on the depth of your analysis and reasoning, how you support your conclusions and the professional appearance of your essays. The ethical rules/code and case studies are on Canvas in the “Ethics” module.

1. Read the applicable NCEES Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Engineers) or CMAA Code of Ethics (Construction Managers). Write a short essay (250 words) summarizing the rules or code in your own words. Your essay should include an introduction, a paragraph for each of the major professional obligations, and a conclusion.

2. Read your assigned case study. Write a 500-word essay briefly summarising the case study and applying the NCEES Model Rules (Engineers) or CMAA Code of Ethics (Construction Managers) to your case study. Analyze the professional decisions in the case study and state your opinion as to how the individual in the case should behave; what errors of ethical judgment were made and how the issues should be resolved or prevented. Four-digit case studies refer to the National Institute of Engineering Ethics (NIEE) case studies. One or two-digit case studies refer to the American Institute of Constructors (AIC) case studies. The NIEE case studies are each in a separate file. The AIC case studies are all in one file.
