Ethics of Products Liability - Whose Fault is it? (1 credit hours/1 HSW Hours)
Being a skilled and qualified engineer is not sufficient to avoid being blamed for a loss due to a product's failure or misuse.  The engineer must adhere faithfully to the standards of professional ethics.  This course is for the engineer who is involved in any way with the design, manufacture and distribution of a product.  The course teaches how to apply and follow professional ethics standards and principles which are of paramount importance.  The faithful adherence to professional ethics can reduce the engineer's exposure to litigation and financial loss.
