From this issue, Civil Engineers who were involved evidently violated some
engineering ethics. First, Civil Engineers shall act in professional matters for each
employer or client as faithful agents or trustees, and shall avoid conflict of interest.
High public official such as Spiro Agnew benefiting financially for civil engineers to
have their contracts was an example of conflict of interest. Secondly, Civil Engineers
shall build their professional reputation on the merit of their services and shall not
compete unfairly with others. In the issue, engineers who gave money to win a
contract compete unfairly with others who did not. Lastly, as a Civil Engineer one
must act in such manner as to uphold and enhance the honor, integrity and dignity of
the civil engineering profession. Clearly the latter was violated as engineers in the
issue were involved in the dirty circulation of money.
