    CE 545 – CE LAWS,

    CONTRACTS,
    SPECIFICATION & ETHICS
    FUNDAMENTAL
    PRINCIPLES

    A N G E L I C A A N C H E TA

    2
    As stated in the code of ethics
    of PICE, civil engineers uphold
    and advance the integrity,
    honor and dignity of the civil
    engineering profession by
    following four principles.

    3
    TITLE
    First Principle

    By using their knowledge and skill


    for the enhancement of human
    welfare and the environment.

    4
    TITLE
    Second Principle

    Being honest and impartial and


    serving with fidelity the public,
    their employers/employees and
    clients.

    5
    TITLE
    Third Principle

    Striving to increase the


    competence and prestige of the
    civil engineering profession

    6
    TITLE
    Fourth Principle

    Supporting the professional and


    technical societies of their
    disciplines

    7
    Geoff French, ICE president also
    listed these 3 principles of the civil
    engineering profession.

    8
    First Principle
    Integrity is not a word that civil engineers tend to use every
    day. In most cases it’s something we take for granted – yet we
    should recognize that it’s vital to everything we want to
    achieve.

    9
    First Principle
    Integrity is not a word that civil engineers tend to use every
    day. In most cases it’s something we take for granted – yet we
    should recognize that it’s vital to everything we want to
    achieve.

    Integrity, of course, means being ethical. But it also embraces


    the need to be sustainable in what we build – and to support
    the diversity of engineering talents and backgrounds.

    Integrity, of course, means being ethical. But it also embraces


    the need to be sustainable in what we build – and to support
    the diversity of engineering talents and backgrounds.

    Professional Integrity is what gives you your strength. It’s what


    gives you lasting value.

    11
    Second Principle
    Communication has many different target audiences. These include
    members, prospective members, students, academia, policy makers,
    industry, clients, multinationals, investors and of course communities and
    wider society.

    12
    Second Principle
    Communication has many different target audiences. These include
    members, prospective members, students, academia, policy makers,
    industry, clients, multinationals, investors and of course communities and
    wider society.

    These different audiences need to be addressed indifferent ways – there’s


    no one-size-fits-all solution to the issue of communication. The ability to
    communicate to the public will help change perceptions of civil engineers.

    13
    Second Principle
    Communication has many different target audiences. These include
    members, prospective members, students, academia, policy makers,
    industry, clients, multinationals, investors and of course communities and
    wider society.

    These different audiences need to be addressed indifferent ways – there’s


    no one-size-fits-all solution to the issue of communication. The ability to
    communicate to the public will help change perceptions of civil engineers.

    Remember, pessimists think a glass is half empty, but the engineer knows
    it’s the glass that’s the wrong size.

    14
    Third Principle
    The value of engineering knowledge and solutions depends
    on them being communicated effectively to an engaged
    audience.

    15
    Third Principle
    The value of engineering knowledge and solutions depends
    on them being communicated effectively to an engaged
    audience.

    Many of us are already engaged in understanding how


    necessary civil engineering and infrastructure are for a society
    to function – transporting resources, people, produce and
    trade goods, providing essential services and ultimately
    reducing poverty.

    Around the world and across the centuries, bridges, railways,


    highways, ports and airports have been built to facilitate the
    ever-increasing pace of human progress.
