Our
interpretation of Canon 6 is as follows:
a) Engineers shall not knowingly associate with, or permit
the use of their names or their firm's names in business
ventures by, any person or firm they know, or have reason
to believe, is engaging in business or professional practices
of a fraudulent or dishonest nature.
b) Engineers shall not use association with non-engineers,
corporations, or partnerships to disguise unethical acts.
Does Canon 6 preclude an engineer from forever associating
with someone who has been convicted and sent to prison
or who has been reprimanded for violating the Codes of
Ethics? Can an engineer associate with someone who is
accused but not indicted, or indicted but not convicted
(under the U.S. judicial system, people are presumed innocent
until proven guilty), or indicted but the case was settled
out of court without the party admitting wrongdoing? What
happens if that someone is a close relative of the family?
Can an engineer seek employment in a firm that has been
fined for having previously violated environmental regulations?
