Document title
NSPE Board of Ethical Review Case No. 79-2
Importance
high
Used by
NSPE Board of Ethical Review as primary analogical precedent for the present case
Used in context
Precedent establishing that (1) engineers acting on a town council's design request act ethically even when another engineer publicly challenges their approach, and (2) an engineer acting as a concerned citizen acts ethically in publicly challenging a design on environmental grounds; used to ground the principle that conflicting public views between engineers on environmental matters are not ethically problematic
Source Evidence
Source text
Later in BER Case No. 79-2, the Board considered a case involving Engineer A, a town engineer, and Engineer B
Text references
Later in BER Case No. 79-2, the Board considered a case involving Engineer A, a town engineer, and Engineer B
That there are conflicting public views between engineers in this case should be of no concern
professional judgment will be the final arbiter of the best balance between society's needs for certain facilities and the level of environmental degradation
there is no finite answer to the balance or 'trade-off' which is involved in the overall concerns about environmental dangers for particular projects
