Engineer Intern Wasser was assigned a design task to include provisions for a 'traditional' irrigation system
Wasser has an ethical obligation to act as a faithful agent to his employer, while simultaneously upholding the Code's ethical encouragement to adhere to sustainability principles
given Wasser's education, knowledge and passionate beliefs about sustainable development, he seems more likely to fulfill his ethical obligations and aspirations – not by refusing the task, but by performing the task with technical expertise, mature leadership and dedicated service to the client's needs
