I didn't open this book for the course more than once. That was a futile attempt to find a reference for one of the course papers. That is when I realized that the instructors weren't really following the book at all and we only bought the book because one of the authors was an instructor. My personal class notes were a far better resource and I ended up with an A.It's also way too small for the price. I've read longer novels that were a 1/10th the price of this one. Not to mention, it's paperback too. I was shocked when I got it and realized I paid $120 for that. I bought 2 other books, both 3 or 4 times the size, in better condition, and in hardback, and they were cheaper!Maybe it's a great book when it's actually used right, but it wasn't used right for me. It was also way too expensive. This book is maybe worth $20 or $30 at most.
Book isn't terrible, but can be painful to read at times. The authors seem to be "beating a dead horse" with a lot of the topics covered in this textbook. I am sure it is not the worst textbook on the subject out there, but I can almost ashore you that there are much better out there.
After course review:This book can feel like a chore to read at times and appears come off as a sociology book in disguise. Nevertheless, engineers cannot escape from writing or reading. The classic cases of engineering ethics are present here and the matters are explained with sufficient detail. Challenger, Columbia, Katrina, Pinto, and Citicorp to say the least. There are also more cases at the end to write research papers on. Altogether, I have to say, this book and course are an impact that broaden and conscientize the engineer or any profession for that matter. .
Expensive and not useful, don't buy unless you really have to.The book is mostly case studies and does not offer helpful suggestion into ethical practice.
Its an okay, kind of book to read. Lots of theory to cover
Two chapters out of the entire book were really worth reading. The rest seemed to be fluff to increase the page count in order to justify the astronomical cost of the book
It worked ok for my ethics class.
Book was ok a bit worn out.
