An Understanding of Professional and Ethical Responsibilities
Professionalism and ethical responsibility are always stressed in every aspect of our lives: school, personal relationships, work, etc. Engineers are required to put more emphasis on these values since their actions could damage the lives of many. As an engineer, it is critical to be aware of the consequences that could happen if any of these values are forgotten. It is almost as if engineers had an imaginary contract with the community in which they promise to do the best for the people. Therefore, engineers should always strive to be as professional and ethical as possible.
During my Technical Writing course, I was assigned to evaluate my virtual footprint through the eyes of a recruiter. From my findings, I wrote a memo (see below) to my "Human Resources Director" reporting my findings and my recommendation of whether or not I should be considered for the job and why. Based on this exercise, I wrote a blog on virtual responsibility in which I was able to reflect on the importance of being aware of what your virtual footprint says about you. From these, I learned that it is the candidate's responsibility to shape his/her own virtual footprint in order to portray a professional and trustworthy image.
It is essential that every graduate understands the magnitude of this outcome. This outcome ensures that every engineer will work to protect the safety and well being of the people.
