With Ethics within engineering, Wade Robison has written an accessible textbook about all the ethical choices that engineers make when engaged in design activities. His illuminating discussion of error-provocative design will be of interest to a broader audience of readers who are interested in how people interact with technology.

The second edition of Wade Robison’s Ethics Within Engineering retains the central argument of the first, that ethics is internal to engineering design. This edition adds a detailed analysis of ethical problems engineers face when working in teams with others. His arguments are first-rate and fundamental.

In this compact, approachable update to the first edition of this volume, Wade Robison draws on both classic and new cases of engineering failure to raise a window for engineering students to discover how design choices necessarily involve ethical choices as well, including decisions regarding sustainability and fairness to all users. Robison also widens the aperture of this new edition to consider ethical issues faced by practicing engineers working on teams and in corporate contexts. Given today’s ever-quickening pace of technological innovation, here is a book that engineering educators would be well-advised to adopt.
