5. Engineering Ethics
5.1 (3 points) What is Ethics:
5.2 (3 points) Engineers must perform under a standard of professional behaviour that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct. The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Ethics Reference Guide lists six Fundamental Canons for engineers to follow in the fulfillment of their professional duties, list the first three (3) Fundamental Canons in order:
5.2.1 Canon #1:
5.2.2 Canon #2:
5.2.3 Canon #3:
5.3 (4 points) List any four of the typical ethical issues that engineers may encounter in engineering practice:
5.3.1: Ethical issue #1
5.3.2: Ethical issue #2
5.3.3: Ethical issue #3
5.3.4: Ethical issue #4

Assume Manchester University wants to make sure, its graduates would find jobs with the highest possible wage during the job search process, because this will help the university to increase its reputation, and as a result, it will be able to increase the tuition rates. How can the university increase the average wage level of their students get after they graduate, assuming it can no longer increase their skill level? I think question is clear there is no neeed extra explanation please feel free to answer question and you can mention about both productivity and equilibrium.

Modify the partition.java program (Listing 7.2) so that the partitionIt() method always uses the highest-index (right) element as the pivot, rather than an arbitrary number. (This is similar to what happens in the quickSort1.java program in Listing 7.3.) Make sure your routine will work for arrays of three or fewer elements. To do so, you may need a few extra statements.

What is an industrial effect of unions on pay level?
1)Industries having highest union wage premium had the lowest employment decrease in the 1970s.
2)Wage premiums come with cost to labor making the firms less profitable.
3)Union workers are paid lesser than nonunion workers on an average.
4)Unions are able to bargain larger-than-normal increase in firms that created specific assets.

The long-term care center has 225 beds and provides the highest level of patient care, according to on- going Department of Health Services annual surveys. The Director of the long-term center has the overall responsibility of ensuring the continuing high level of quality outcomes while also concurrently keeping the facility as risk free as practical. You and the Director have just returned from an annual Long-Term Care Association symposium where you were both introduced to some new groundbreaking initiatives regarding the differences between risk management and quality improvement.
Earlier in the week, the Director called for a meeting of the
center’s department managers, including the Quality Assurance Nurse
and the Manager of Risk Management. After briefing them on the
symposium talking points, your Director asks you to come up with a
working plan and strategy for how the facili-
ty will use both of the concepts you have introduced to arrive at a
more centralized and standardized approach. Overall, the desired
outcomes focus on adopting a new approach to higher quality with
fewer risk factors for the organization.
Later that week, the Manager of Risk Management, the Manager of Nursing Quality Assurance, and a representative from Human Resources met to formulate a new plan to reduce the litigation exposure while concurrently increasing the quality of patient outcomes. They set about the complex set of tasks with the expectation that you, as the Director’s designated facilitator, will be closely reviewing their final recommendations.
Provide a 250-word executive summary of the research project and recommended plan of action that you will provide to the Director.
Address the following:
Questions:
What is the necessary background information needed to complete your executive summary?Who
are the stakeholders?
How do the facility’s current Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) outcomes correspond with the current litigation prevention systems?
What factors within the nursing units are the most critical to consider when examining higher quality outcomes?
What factors within the nursing units are the most critical to consider when examining lower litigation adverse actions and operational impact?
What future steps must be taken to accomplish this directive?
