Ethics and Responsibilities of Engineers

Frederick Bloetscher is currently a Professor of Civil, Environmental & Geomatics Engineering and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Community Outreach at Florida Atlantic University. His research focus has been on urban infrastructure systems, particularly public water, stormwater, and sewer systems and their sustainability. Dr. Bloetscher co-teaches the first semester of the capstone design course at FAU, focusing on consideration of ethical issues. He is also the author of Practical Concepts for Capstone Design Engineering and Public Infrastructure Management.

"Dr. Bloetscher's book provides the engineering community with an awareness of the complex ethical challenges facing today's engineers... I highly recommend reading and sharing this publication with your fellow practitioners." --Albert Munniz, Vice President, Hazen and Sawyer "Not only does Ethics and Responsibilities of Engineers address its title topics, but it also serves as a compelling testament to the field itself. While the writing style is accessible to emerging engineers, the oftentimes nuanced subject matter is critical to all engineers." --William Schnabel, Dean, University of Alaska Fairbanks College of Engineering and Mines
