Document title
Professional norms governing acknowledgment of design errors
Importance
high
Used by
Engineer T in self-assessment; Engineer B in evaluating the situation; attorneys in deposition preparation
Used in context
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.'
