o Serve & protect the public.o Provide guidance.o Offer inspiration.o

Establish shared standards.o Support responsible professionals.o Contribute to education.o

Deter wrongdoing.o

Strengthen the image of the engineering profession

Adhering to the guidelines provided will constitute a behavior that is most probably ethicaland not doing so would be considered as unethical. Based on those guidelines, appropriateand inappropriate behavior may be correlated accordingly.

Exercise 10.5

This exercise is designed to illustrate the notion of relationship building through exchange.Many scenarios are possible here.

At the end of the exercise, it is useful to review the conditions in which group consensusshould and should not be used.

Exercise 13.3

The project appears to be doing nicely. In both periods 4 and 8 the cost variance is positive — +$300 and +$400, respectively. This suggests a pattern of good cost variance that isunder budget.

The schedule variance is also positive — +$300 and +$400 for period 4 and period 8. SinceTask D is already 25% complete, Task B must have been completed at least one period early.

Exercise 13.6

After 6 time periods the project is roughly 66% complete and so far work on the project hastaken 1,600 hours less work than planned. There is 400 hours worth of work on Activity 4which was suppose to have been done that has not done. Since Activity 4 is on the critical path, the project is behind schedule. If schedule is the number priority, the project managermay want to consider investing some of the savings on accelerating critical activities.
