Although perhaps not the first thing that may come to mind when practicing civil engineering, ethics is an integral part of what we do and defines who we are.

The topic of ethics for all practicing civil engineers has become more pronounced and indeed more important. Unfortunately, ethics tends to be overlooked by many and treated almost as a bolt on to how we behave and work, when it should really be core.

To highlight the importance of ethics in practice and the challenges that civil engineers face, the ICE in collaboration with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in the UK are hosting a joint meeting at which the topic will be discussed.

Tara Hoke, General Counsel for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), will deliver an address on the ASCE’s Code of Ethics.

Following her presentation, a panel discussion will take place featuring members of the ICE Ethics Committee. The panel will explore the ICE's Advice on Ethical Conduct and engage in a group discussion to consider the ethical dilemmas faced by engineers in both the UK and the US.
