design problem when he worked on the Citicorp
Centre, N.Y fifth highest skyscraper in New York.
The 900 feet bank would
rise from 9-storey (114)

4. THE CHALLENGER
CASE
CHALLENGERS 8th flight was set up for 28th Jan 1986
Allan McDonald of Morton
Thiokol who designed the
solidrocket booster knew the
problems with the field joints on
previous cold weather joints. And
28th Jan was expected to be cold.
But no one gave response on that
and finally count down ended
at 11.38 AM. The temperature
was 36 degrees. The rocket broke
apart 73 seconds into its flight,
leading to the deaths of
its seven crew members
WHISTLE BLOWING
Whistle blowing is alerting relevant
persons
to some moral or legal corruption, where
Relevant persons are those in a
position to act in response
person who exposes misconduct, alleged
dishonest or illegal activity occurring in an
organization
No topic in Engineering ethics is more
controversial than
whistle blowing.
conclusion
When you leave this Lecture Hall today you
must leave with the knowledge and
conviction that you have a professional
and moral responsibility to yourselves and
to your fellow human beings to defend
the truth and expose any questionable
practice that will lead to an unsafe
product or process
