Decision question
Was it ethical for Engineer Intern Wasser to refuse to perform the irrigation system design development task, and was outright refusal a proportionate professional response given the normative weight of the sustainability concern?
Focus
Whether Engineer Intern Wasser's outright refusal to perform the irrigation system sketching task was an ethically proportionate response to the sustainability and environmental concerns identified — given that NSPE Code III.2.d frames sustainable development adherence as encouraged rather than mandatory — or whether a more proportionate response would have been to complete the assigned task while simultaneously submitting the formal sustainability memorandum and developing a concrete sustainable alternative design.
Option1
Complete the assigned irrigation sketching task under protest while simultaneously submitting the formal sustainability memorandum with hydrogeological evidence and developing a concrete sustainable alternative irrigation design for presentation to Engineer Jaylani and the Resort Development Client
Option2
Refuse outright to perform the irrigation sketching task before any design work is performed, submitting only the formal sustainability memorandum to Engineer Jaylani as the primary form of objection
Option3
Perform the irrigation sketching task without objection, deferring entirely to Engineer Jaylani's authority as supervising engineer and the landscape architect's specification authority
