Author :
Unger, Stephen H.
Abstract :
The author believes that recent actions taken by the IEEE have undone most of the significant progress made over the past four years in developing mechanisms to support the ethical practice of engineering. He presents and defends his position with an account of the actions were taken by the IEEE´s Executive Committee (ExCom) and why he feels the actions in the ethics area are misguided.
