Ethics 101 for Engineers: The 7 Codes of Ethics and Why They are Essential 

Engineering is one of the most trusted professions in the world. Engineers design the systems that support modern life and therefore must function reliably, safely, and sustainably. For that to happen, engineers need to perform under an established standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.  

This webinar explores the seven ethical codes as outlined by Tau Beta Pi, one of the most respected engineering honor societies in the United States. These principles are echoed by organizations such as the NSPE, ASHRAE, and ASME, and serve as the backbone of engineering integrity across disciplines. 

We’ll cover  

The meaning and importance of each of the 7 codes of ethics, including public safety, professional competence, truthful communication, fiduciary responsibility, fair competition, lifelong learning, and equitable treatment. 

• How ethical principles guide decision‑making, innovation, and public welfare  
• Practical guidance on applying ethical principles to daily engineering decisions. 
• Why these moral pillars matter to both engineers and to the industries they serve 

Ethical frameworks offer engineers a “moral compass” that leads to better long-term outcomes, balance, and building public trust in the profession.
