  6. Example 1 • Terry needs a C or better in CE 377 to graduate and take a great job with a consulting firm. • Unfortunately, the class is not really in Terry’s main area of interest, and the professor is really boring, and the homework is confusing, and this semester Terry has senior design, which is real engineering—unlike CE 377. • During the final exam, Terry sits next to a star student. A quick peek (or two) to the left might help Terry get that C.

  7. Example 2 • Ollie Mobrien of Himlycorn Engineering prepares a traffic study for a client who wants to build a facility in a high-priced area of the country. • Ollie’s study suggests the client will need a road with five lanes of traffic. However, a three-lane road would use less land and save the client millions of dollars. Himlycorn sure could use the repeat business of this client.

  8. Example 3 • A professor assigned a term paper in an engineering class. Two students wrote particularly good papers, and the professor decided to submit them to a journal. He rearranged some paragraphs, cut some text, and removed one-third of the original references. He was the sole author on the published papers. Adapted from ASCE News

  9. Example 4 • To provide an opportunity for professional development, an engineer prepares a review course for people planning to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. The engineer uses the ASCE logo, without permission, on the brochure used to promote the course. Adapted from ASCE News

  10. Example 5 • An engineering firm hired another engineer as a subconsultant to study the soil types at a site. The engineer’s report stated that the soil consisted of “gravel, sandstone, brown coarse sand, and light brown well graded sand”. However, after a contractor raised concerns that the report did not match conditions at the site, a member of the firm investigated and found no evidence of soil borings. Furthermore, the entire site consisted of volcanic rock. Adapted from ASCE News
