high
Used by
NSPE Board of Ethical Review in analyzing Engineer A's conduct

Primary normative authority for evaluating Engineer A's obligation to insist on a full-time on-site project representative or withdraw from the project when the client refused; Sections II.1.a and III.1.b are specifically cited
Version
Current at time of case
Source Evidence
Source text
it is for that reason that the NSPE Code of Ethics was developed and continues to develop as a force in engineering ethics
Text references
Section II.1.a. admonishes engineers to recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the public safety, health, property, and welfare
Section III.1.b. clearly requires the engineer to inform a client when the engineer believes that a project will not be successful
it appears that the NSPE Code of Ethics does contain provisions which address this point
it is for that reason that the NSPE Code of Ethics was developed and continues to develop as a force in engineering ethics
such an approach is the only one that would be consistent with the Code of Ethics
