Usedincontext
The standard governing when engineers must acknowledge errors in their professional work is central to the case, as Engineer T believed the NSPE Code required acknowledgment of the failure to explore alternative design concepts.
Source Evidence
Source Text
Engineer T expressed a belief that a design error – i.e., not exploring alternative, safer design concepts – had been made and the NSPE Code of Ethics required that the error be acknowledged.
Text References
Engineer T expressed a belief that a design error – i.e., not exploring alternative, safer design concepts – had been made and the NSPE Code of Ethics required that the error be acknowledged.
Having thus thoughtfully considered the matter, both Engineer T and Engineer B decided that the situation did not merit acknowledgement of 'an error.'
