Document title
Professional Norms on Personal Misconduct and the Scope of Engineering Ethics Codes
Importance
high
Used by
Board of Ethical Review to justify applying the NSPE Code to Engineer F's conduct as a contractor
Used in context
Applied to establish that Engineer F's contractor license revocation—though occurring outside formal engineering practice—falls within the scope of the NSPE Code of Ethics because the Code governs the whole person, not merely technical engineering activities
Version
Established via BER Case 75-5
Source Evidence
Source text
BER Case 75-5, where the BER found that personal misconduct that was not related to the practice of engineering was a violation of the NSPE Code of Ethics.
Text references
BER Case 75-5 clearly indicates that the BER must look beyond just the specific practice of engineering to the whole person when addressing ethical issues relating to professional engineers.
