Engineering Ethics and Developing Countries

Engineers are responsible for many of the technological developments which have created our modern society. Technological development is continuing at an ever-increasing pace in the United States and around the world. These new developments are exciting, and not only require engineering abilities, but also an understanding of different business customs and legal considerations. In addition, there is growing demand for engineering talent from developing countries. Due to this demand, it is necessary for engineers to be familiar with how general standards in engineering ethics should be applied in developing countries (UNESCO, 2010). Choose a general principle or standard within a particular engineering code of ethics (note the code and the standard you have chosen). Then, choose a developing country or emerging economy where the standard could make a difference for society. Finally, detail the difficulty in adhering to that standard in the country you chose.
