Our
interpretations of Canon 7 are as follows:
a) Engineers shall endeavor to extend public knowledge,
and to prevent misunderstandings of the achievements of
engineering.
b) Engineers shall be completely objective and truthful
in all professional reports, statements or testimony.
They shall include all relevant and pertinent information
in such reports, statements or testimony.
c) Engineers, when serving as expert or technical witnesses
before any court, commission, or other tribunal, shall
express an engineering opinion only when it is founded
on their adequate knowledge of the facts in issue, on
their background of technical competence in the subject
matter, and on their belief in the accuracy and propriety
of their testimony.
d) Engineers shall issue no statements, criticisms, or
arguments on engineering matters which are inspired or
paid for by an interested party, or parties, unless they
preface their comments by identifying themselves, by disclosing
the identities of the party or parties on whose behalf
they are speaking, and by revealing the existence of any
financial interest they may have in matters under discussion.
e) Engineers shall be truthful in explaining their work
and merit, and shall avoid any act tending to promote
their own interest at the expense of the integrity and
honor of the profession or of another individual. |
