Essay #2
The role of any employee is to perform their task to the best of their ability, regardless of their occupation. Whether you are behind the tortilla station at Chipotle or behind the vest of a sworn in officer. You are obligated to put forth your best foot forward despite the situations you may encounter. While always putting the health of the person you are serving first. With hierarchy in society this obligation carries more meaning and status depending on one’s profession. The professional role of an engineer is not only to form the pathways to a more productive society by mending the practices of math, science and reason to do so. But to also protect society in every way possible. Every engineer as an unsworn duty to serve and safeguard any form of human life, not just people. The role of any qualified professional is to perform their job with only the intent of a positive outcome. Never cheating, lying or falsifying anything in the process. Stephanie Simon a chemical engineer faced with

Sticking with her first gut instinct to turn in her finding despite knowing her boss wouldn’t be satisfied with her work. Instead she will inform the content of her finding to the CEO of the company. And if he also is angered by data presented to him it is better for her to take this current loss and quit. Knowing wisely that her current action will define her work ethic for the rest of her career. Nobody in the future will want to hire a dishonest person, especially a dishonest engineer. Stephanie is not a 16-year-old teenager lying about stolen items in McDonalds. She is a chemical engineer; her actions do way more than just affect herself. Engineers are the hands that mold the greatest aspects of society into place. Without them society will be hauled into a standstill. With that being said we them to act accordingly and morally to their
Establish a framework for professional behavior and responsibilities when professional obligations conflict or ethical uncertainties arise.
Human Beings have been divided into different categories .There are certain kind of jobs to do in this world. Whatever the job we do, we have to do it sincerely and it is our responsbility to fulfill all the requirements our job requires from us.Once committed to our job, we have to be sincere, honest, devoted and responsible.
...nciples of engineering; in doing so, they will aid in the protection of society by having a high standard of ethics, honesty, and integrity. In order to become a world-class engineering student, I will have to continue to be conscious of academic dishonest behavior, alerting my professors if I am witness to its occurrence and deterring myself from it, in addition to familiarizing myself with the professional ethical codes related to engineering as engineers are expected to exhibit these fundamental principles when fulfilling their professional duties.
Professionals are people who have equipped themselves with the knowledge and skills in a given field. The interest of improvement of the professional identity is an evidence of how high standards are placed upon the professionals in the community (Johnson et al., 2012). Each profession creates its norms, values and scope of practice that distinguishes it from any other profession. Different legal ethics are upheld and everyone needs to work as per the stipulated ethics in the field to be part of the profession. People in the field are expected to be knowledgeable and independently use decision making in solving various problems that may arise. The decisions made should be within the norms and values stipulated for a profession.
Ever since I began studying science and mathematics at all levels of educations I have always had an interest in the production of useful materials. In the growing turmoil of today; a world full of global warming and diminishing resources, questions often arise in my mind such as, "can we make a more efficient, more durable and a renewable resource that will overshadow fossil fuels? and have less of an impact on our environment?" Up to now, I have not found a solution to these questions and answering these questions is a personal aspiration of mine which I aim to fulfil by achieving a degree in Chemical engineering and eventually I will contribute to the field in my own unique way. The debate surrounding sustainable energy fascinates me, having recently learned from personal research I have understood what an authoritative role chemists and chemical engineers play in the industry at the present time and how, by working as a team, they contribute to an improved future for the whole world. However, one of the main reasons that has single-mindedly driven me this far to want to study chemical engineering is a book I have read, “Beyond the Molecular Frontier: Challenges for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering” While reading this book, I had solidified my understandings of what chemical engineering is all about. Also, one of the main processes mentioned was polymerisation and is something I already study in A-level chemistry, it is something that not only interests me, but is a personal career aspiration of mine. Reading this book gave me a determination to be the person who helps improve the future of the industry and provide an answer to the questions I always ask myself by studying this degree.
As for employees, it is essential for them to work together and cooperate with one another to prevent any accidents from occurring and to not carry out any actions that may be reckless and bring harm to their fellow colleagues. They are ultimately responsible for the safety of their colleagues and themselves. Failing to do so will not only cause mishaps but it may also result in parties being convicted for breaching this act.
The various processes and concepts involved in industries responsible for the production of innumerable day to day goods have always captured my fascination. The production and processing of chemicals form the crux of such industries. What started as a fascination has turned into a passion, and the next step in this journey is why i am aspiring towards a Master of Science degree in CHEMICAL ENGINEERING at PENN ENGINEERING specializing in {Specialization}.
Though many people fail to realize it, chemistry is a subject essential to everyday life, due to the fact that it is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. But what we must understand is that everything in the universe is composed of matter, hence chemistry is necessary in learning more about the world and universe that we live in. There are many careers and fields affiliated with chemistry that people pursue to learn more about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering.
production or use of chemicals and biochemicals. They rely on the main foundations of engine
Every employee who is responsible for performing an assigned duty in a proficient manner and purposely decides to neglect the details required in completing these goals will be held accountable for their actions. Accountability in the workforce is an important necessity in order for a business to be successful.
Engineers are valuable assets to any company because they think analytically. Engineers may advance to become technical specialists or to supervise a staff or team of engineers and technicians. Some eventually become engineering managers or enter other managerial or sales jobs.
The code says that engineers should always be aware that their first responsibility is to protect public safety, health and welfare. If their judgment is rejected in circumstances where under threat security, health, property or welfare of the people, they must notify the employer or client, and, if necessary, other authorities.
In this project, I would like to explain our society and community wants that an engineer should follow the rule and Law in strict way. There are two key points as like, negligence and respect. Two example cases show how the disaster and nasty accident happen without any control in the negligent and respectful ways. For more detail story, there are two articles describing the role of engineers. The one story is about the accidents of trench, “Trench Failure”. This case shows how much engineers’ professional responsibility is important. This is regarding engineer’s legal liability vs. social responsibility. The second case is regarding the respect for nature by engineering. This is the case of ‘Aberdeen Three’ and the story is about the crime of the environmental pollution. But, this story is also regarding the role, which is related with engineer’s legal liability and social responsibility too, as an engineer in modern life and society.
Throughout my school career I have always loved chemistry. In Chemistry there was always a sense that there was more, there was always something new and exciting to be discovered and theories to be proven (or even disproven). Chemistry was the main subject with a real practical aspect to it during school and it is this, along with my genuine fascination with the subject, which fuels my desire to study it further.
The growing relevance of Chemical Engineering in today’s world, from energy & oil industries to pharmaceuticals & biotechnology, and a keen desire for applying this knowledge in interrelated spheres motivates me to pursue a Master’s degree in this field. My interest in science goes back to the time when I was in school. We had a young and enthusiastic teacher who took us on field trips and visits to science fairs and museums. This nascent interest has only burgeoned through my years in school and high school, as I have learnt more about the subject. In the long run, I see myself as a part of a leading research group, either as a faculty member or in the R&D department of an organisation contributing my bit to the field of Chemical Engineering. As a research scientist, I hope to make a difference in this field and learn more through the innovative challenges.
