Abstract :
Ethical dilemmas abound, ranging from classic lifeboat cannibalism through frigid O-rings. The author collected the following discussion items when, on short notice, he found himself teaching Ethics and Professionalism in Engineering. He uses them for class discussion and homework. Hopefully one will find some of the examples useful directly or they may trigger dilemmas from personal experience
