This book addresses the ways in which engineers meet this challenge, working from the assumption that for a project to be truly ethical both the undertaking itself and its implementation must be ethically sound. The contributors discuss varied topics from an international and interdisciplinary perspective, including: ·         robot ethics; ·         outer space; ·         international development; ·         internet privacy and security; ·         green branding; ·         arms conversion; ·         green employment; and ·         deliberate misinformation about climate change Important questions are answered, such as: ·         what is meant by engineering ethics and its practical implications; ·         how decisions made by engineers in their working lives make an impact at the global as well as the local level; and ·         what ethics-related questions should be asked before making such decisions. Engineering Ethics, International and Environmental Stability will be a valuable resource for practising and student engineers as well as all who are interested in professional ethics, especially as it relates to engineering. Researchers and policy makers concerned with the effects of engineering decisions on environmental sustainability and international stability will find this book to be of special interest. 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEthics 606 $aEngineering 606 $aProfessional education 606 $aVocational education 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aEngineering, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T00004 606 $aProfessional & Vocational Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O35000 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aEngineering. 615 0$aProfessional education. 615 0$aVocational education. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 14$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aEngineering, general. 615 24$aProfessional & Vocational Education. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 676 $a170 676 $a333.7 676 $a338.927 676 $a338926 676 $a370113 676 $a620 676 $a628 702 $aHersh$b Marion$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299458203321 996 $aEthical Engineering for International Development and Environmental Sustainability$92501959 997 $aUNINA
