    Assignment – 1
    Submitted to: Sir Asjad Shahazad
    Fact:
    An Engineer shares his time at the university between teaching and research projects
    under contract between the university and a government agency. He also owns an
    interest in a private research and development company in the community and
    devotes evening and weekend time to the interests of the company. The private R&D
    company and the university as well as others are invited by a Federal agency to
    submit proposals for a project, the technical content of which is based in large part
    upon the research performed by the university for a different Federal agency and in
    which the engineer participated. The engineer's background, experience, and work on
    the technical subject matter will give the private R&D company and the university an
    advantage if he is to be actively involved in the project, either directly or as a
    consultant.

    the university?

    university.

    the private R&D company under these circumstances?
    Answer:

    private R&D company unless the university will not submit a proposal and so
    advises the professor.
    3. Is it ethical for the engineer to participate in the project for the university if
    its proposal is accepted by the Government?
    Answer:
    It is ethical for the engineer to participate in the project for the university if its
    proposal is accepted by the Government.
    4. Is it ethical for the engineer to participate to any degree in the project for the
    private R&D company if its proposal is accepted by the Government?

    submit a proposal and so advised the engineer.
    5. If the engineer may not participate actively in the project if awarded to the
    private R&D company, may he ethically retain his interest in and connection

    with the private R&D company?

    the circumstances stated provided there was full disclosure of his financial interest in
    the company to the Government agency prior to the contract award.
