  1. EGGG 101: Introduction to Engineering Dr. Jill Higginson Assistant Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Delaware ME Lecture 6

  2. Today’s objectives • Lab summary • Engineering ethics • Scope of ME • Miscellaneous

  3. Lab summary • Force-length properties of muscle • Forces accelerate the center of mass (GRFs) • Force distribution under the foot (pressure) • Mobility for each one • 25,000 landmine injuries/year • Typically $1300-$4000 • Low cost materials + low-tech production = $8

  4. Potential obstacles • Novel materials • Custom shape • Aerodynamics • Biocompatibility

  5. Potential obstacles • Extreme loads • Durability • Fixation

  6. “Professional” • Special knowledge and skills that directly influence human well-being • Special responsibilities • Gain and maintain public trust • Otherwise lose ability to be effective in influencing human well-being • Being competent and living up to high moral standards

  7. Engineering ethics • Set of behavioral standards engineers are expected to follow • Engineers’ work has a direct and vital impact on quality of life for all people • Services require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity • Dedicated to protection of public health, safety and welfare

  8. NSPE Code of Ethics • Protect the public safety, health and welfare. • Perform duties only in areas of competence. • Be truthful and objective. • Behave in an honorable and dignified manner. • Continue learning to sharpen technical skills. • Provide honest hard work to employers or clients. • Inform the proper authorities of harmful, dangerous or illegal activities. • Be involved with civic and community affairs. • Protect the environment. • Do not accept bribes or gifts that interfere with engineering judgment. • Protect confidential information of employer or client. • Avoid conflicts of interest.
