Author: William Frey

Institution: University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez

Review of Henry’s Daughters. The NIEE’s (National Institute for Engineering Ethics) latest engineering ethics video, Henry’s Daughters, probes—among many issues—conflict of interest, corruption, sexual harassment, the glass ceiling, and intellectual property. Henry, an influential behind-the-scenes lobbyist, and his two daughters, Laura and Julie (both engineers), become embroiled in scandal surrounding a DOT sponsored project SANSHANDS, a competition between engineering firms to develop the best smart transportation system.

Help Wanted: Plagiarism and Engineering

Views: 795

Does anybody have a case that dramatizes not just that plagiarism is a bad academic practice but that it is also a bad engineering practice? What form does plagiarism take in engineering practice? Does plagiarism in the classroom lead to engineering plagiarism? What do the different codes of ethics of engineering professional societies have to say about plagiarism?
