In this fine book, Wade Robison has provided a readable introduction to the central issues of engineering ethics conceived as integral to the core activity of the profession of engineering: design. Unlike many engineering ethics courses and textbooks, Ethics within Engineering focuses on the “internal” design choices, the value judgments which form the intellectual and creative soul of engineering. This book should be required reading for engineering students and instructors alike.

Ethics within Engineering nicely encapsulates the ways that ethics enters in—and is integral to—every stage of the engineering design process. Not only does it raise the ethical issues in design, it also offers a set of straightforward principles and ideas to help guide one's moral thinking. The book's clear and conversational style makes it an excellent choice for an undergraduate course in engineering ethics, or for anyone interested in the moral responsibilities of professional engineers.
