Engineering is a profession that aims to establish ethical behavior through various codes of conduct issued by different engineering societies. While there are differences among these codes, there are notable similarities in what is not addressed. Each code emphasizes the importance of “holding paramount public safety,” but does not discuss the connection between engineering and military industries or terrorism. Additionally, none of the codes addresses world poverty, impacts on indigenous cultures, sustainability, climate change, the sixth extinction, synthetic biology, or artificial intelligence. With the exception of ASCE, the challenge of environmental sustainability is largely overlooked.
