Professionalism

Perform thorough investigation on engineering ethical event: The crashing of two Boeing 737 MAX passenger aircrafts in late 2018 and 2019. Investigation on the event and how it relates to ethics in engineering.

Guidelines: 

Margins
1 inch on top, bottom, left, right.

Length
A minimum of 4 pages double-spaced

Font
A reasonable style for a formal report. No larger than 12-point type.

Graphics
Should be small in size, appear in the report for a purpose, and have accompanying text to explain why they are there. Include at least one graphic with this paper.

Content
Your analysis is the most critical part.
Report on at least the following:
1. what happened
2. why it happened, citing lack of “professionalism” or “conscientiousness” if applicable
3. possible corrective actions–how to reduce or remove the possibility of failure or harm
4. who was at fault and why
5. an assessment of whether this situation was handled correctly or incorrectly
6. an analysis of the situation using a line drawing (at least four-criteria line items) to come up with the optimal “right” decision – provide a rationale for each criteria used and the placing of the “X.” The paper much include an actual line drawing analysis.

7. discussion of at least four “Tests or Application Procedures for Using the Two Models” (Chapter 2-Box 2.8 on page 29 Davis’ Eight Moral Tests) and what was the right outcome based on these four moral framework tests. Analysis of the case is extremely important. Linking concepts from the textbook to this case is essential! A report of the case alone with no analysis will not be sufficient. Be sure to apply all relevant ethical concepts. Textbook: Pritchard, M., Harris, C., Jr, Rabins, M. J., James, R., & Englehardt, E. (2017). Engineering Ethics: Concepts and Cases (6th ed.).

8. A graphic or picture that helps to reinforce your analysis of the issues or highlighting the case.

Style
A formal report style is expected-APA format is preferred. The most important element of using research material is giving credit to the sources.

Bibliography
Separate page listing 6 sources in a standard bibliographic form.
