EthicsWhat are the responsibilities when the guidance is devolved onto automatic systems?Safety;Ensuring testing has been doneNo failuresAccuracy and Rigour;Make sure the specifications are correctNo shortcuts takenDont use different/cheaper materialsHonesty and Integrity;Raise the issue if there is oneRespect of human life;Ensure no one gets hurt

How ethics affected usSelect roles- Roles changed due to peoples strengths- This means keeping up to date with technological developments and deepening and broadening your knowledge through continuing professional development (IET, N.D.)Accommodating for an extra member- Being fair with work load- As a professional you have a duty to treat all of these people fairly. (IET, N.D).Appearance - Disagreements - A person of integrity will resist pressure to compromise their ethical standards and beliefs, whether that pressure comes from employers, clients, or anywhere else. (IET, N.D.)

We were happy with our accomplishments today!

We were successful in all evaluations of our mouse this morning.

We have confidence in our micromouse for combat.

Thank you!
