Summary

Canadian Professional Engineering and Geoscience: Practice and Ethics, is the definitive book on professional engineering practice and ethics in Canada. The textbook informs professional engineers and geoscientists about the structure, practice, and ethics of their profession and encourages them to apply ethical concepts in their professional lives. The textbook describes a useful ethical problem-solving technique and is filled with Canadian case histories, case studies, and similar applications of professional ethics. Approximately 20 photos illustrate Canadian engineering events and achievements.The Andrews textbook is directed to engineers and geoscientists in every branch of the profession, practising in any province or territory of Canada, and is particularly valuable to people preparing to write the Professional Practice Examination (PPE) for licensing, since the textbook is recommended across Canada for the ethics portion of the PPE. The final chapter is devoted to exam preparation, and includes 25 solved questions from old PPE exams. A CD-ROM accompanies the textbook, with excerpts from the licensing laws, complete Codes of Ethics, and additional case studies, assignments and PPE questions from old exams.
