Introduction Engineering is the application of scientific facts and experimentation to invent and improve machines, systems and processes. Engineering encompasses a wide variety of fields like; Aeronautical engineering, Chemical engineering, Civil engineering, Computer engineering, Electrical engineering, Mechanical engineering and many more. A majority of these fields are guarded by a Code of Ethics so that the ... After many discussions and much alteration, the AIEE Board of Directors implemented a code in March, 1912. In the meantime, the American Institute of Consulting Engineering, the A...
