Jakes on the Water is planning to expand their restaurant to a larger restaurant called Jakes on the Bay. The existing septic tank has a volume of 5.0 m3 and the existing tile field has a trench area of 200.0 m2 . If the anticipated wastewater production from the Jakes on the Bay is 4,000 L/d, will they have to expand either the septic tank or the tile field or both? Assume the soil is sandy loam.

5.19 At 8:00 A.M. there are 10 vehicles in a queue at a toll booth and vehicles are arriving at a rate of Ȝ(t) = 6.9 − 0.2t. Beginning at 8 A.M., vehicles are being serviced at a rate of ȝ(t) = 2.1 + 0.3t (Ȝ(t) and ȝ(t) are in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 8:00 A.M.). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length, and what would the total delay be from 8:00 A.M. until the queue clears?

This case is a comprehensive engineering ethics case study aims to cover as much as possible of ethical issues to explain how to apply the NSPE code of ethics. In addition, comprehensive case would improve brainstorming and peer discussion.
A young civil engineering student just graduated from college recently. He is specialized in building design and construction. He is hired as a trainee engineer in an engineering office and working with the senior engineer. After working for a few months, he noticed that his projects are not reviewed by the office’s senior engineer and approval directly for construction. This engineer starts to involve with projects designed for large number of people such as schools and public offices. He is worried that he would make a mistake in his designs and kill someone due to un-reviewed projects. He talked to the office manager who informed him that all projects go through second review by the office’s management engineer who uses a software to verify final results.
After a while, the civil engineer was talking to a project contractor who informed him that all engineering office projects are approved by municipality without check due to the senior engineer professional reputation. Moreover, the contractor is given all office projects because of his friendship with senior engineer. The contractor offered him to leave the engineering office and join him for higher salary. This conversion increased the civil engineer even more and put him in a daily concern of what to do in this situation. What the civil engineer should do?
Answer the following question:
1- What are the civil engineer ethical and moral obligations? (9 POINTS – CLO 1)
2- What is the ethical dilemma in this case? (14 POINTS – CLO 2)
3- What are the ethical issues involved in this case? (12 POINTS – CLO 2)
Think of Moral or Ethical issues as:
Actions that have the potential to harm others or help others unfairly.
Any negative impact of project, action, or decision
4- (Ethical Framework): (20 POINTS – CLO 4)
What the civil engineer should do in this case based on NSPE code
of ethics – Use two Canons?
5- (Moral Framework): (20 POINTS – CLO 3)
What the civil engineer should do in this case based on Moral
theories and beliefs (e.g. Utilitarianism,
Virtue Ethics, Duty and Rights Ethics)?
6- (Preventive Ethics): (5 POINTS – CLO 2)
What could be UNETHICAL or IMMROAL behavior in this case (Choose
one)?
