Scope Note
[proethica-intermediate-extended] Capability to recognize when political lobbying, personal relationships, or non-technical influence efforts are being used — or are tempting to be used — as substitutes for genuine technical qualification in competing for a public engineering contract, and to refrain from such conduct, competing instead on the basis of demonstrated technical competence through proper qualification-based selection processes.
