Recenzii
' … the book scores highly'. Keith Moore, Professional Engineering
' … wealth of historical and technical information … As a detailed study of ethical issues arising in the space shuttle program, Engineering Ethics is quite successful. The methodology it offers is quite helpful in organizing and analyzing those ethical issues … Engineering Ethics is a good read and a welcome contribution to the growing literature of engineering ethics.'
