The fourth fundamental canon of the Code of Ethics published by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) states, "Engineers shall act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees." Engineers typically learn business management on-the-job after they have graduated, and there are common skills that one understands from the beginning (don't steal, don't lie), but what about issues such as accepting side jobs, volunteering for committees, or public interactions that may have a bearing on an employer or client's reputation? These issues, and more, will be explored by examining case studies and offering practical applications.
