The fifth fundamental canon of the Code of Ethics published by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) states, "Engineers shall avoid deceptive acts." Deception can be used to elevate one's status or financial position, and it might not be easy to discover. Engineers must represent their qualifications, knowledge, and work truthfully, otherwise members of the public will quickly lose respect for the profession and significant harm can be caused by unqualified work. This webinar will explore case studies and court case summary judgments to provide an understanding of how deceptive acts can be dangerous with long-lasting effects on the health, safety, and welfare of society.
