Table 1: Ethics and Regulation on Professional Conduct

No Title Section
1. Mr. X is a project engineer for a project contracted to Y Company owned by Mr
Z. Mr Z tells Mr. X that he is ordering the latest model of an electronic gadget for
his company staff and he can get a set for Mr. X at the company discounted price.
Mr. X agrees and pays on delivery. Did Mr. X breach the Regulations on
S1/S2
Professional Conduct: “It is the responsibility of every engineer to give the highest
regard to his profession and conduct himself with integrity when executing his
task”. Discuss this statement in detail within the context of the Malaysian
environment.
2. The IEM Regulations on Professional Conduct speaks against active self-
promotion and advertisement. In what ways would such restraint enhance the
stature of engineers as professionals? More importantly, given the advent of the
S3/S4
information technology age where virtual reality is becoming the norm, how would
any violation of the IEM Regulations on Professional Conduct be detected and
dealt with?
3. Very often codes of practice suggest discretion of engineering judgement. There
are merits and demerits of international codes of practice and standards as
opposed to national documents within the context of the Malaysian industry and
S5/S6
practices. Discuss by giving examples of engineering judgment whereby such
decision does not conform to an international code of practice and how it is
justified. Is international conformity always desirable?
