Beyond The Code: A Philosophical Guide to Engineering Ethics is a unique text for engineering educators to teach the complex topic of ethics, as well as professional engineers seeking to deepen their knowledge on the subject. It is organized such that each chapter focuses on one of the six fundamental canons of the NSPE Code of Ethics, providing the reader with underpinnings from a philosophy perspective (ideas and literature that most engineers may not be exposed to or even seek out on their own) coupled with relevant case studies for discussion and reflection. A well-written, interesting, and enjoyable read! J. Patrick Abulencia, Chemical Engineering, Manhattan College, USA From the Foreword: I am extremely pleased that Heidi Furey, Scott Hill, and Sujata Bhatia have written this impressive text .... I have had the opportunity to review a range of books and publications addressing the issue of engineering ethics. In my opinion, Beyond the Code is singular and exceptional in the manner in which it addresses the topic of engineering ethics. The text combines the theoretical and the practical in a way that will delight readers, particularly those who, over the years, have known NSPE's You Be the Judge and On Ethics articles as well as other versions of the NSPE Board of Ethical Review's opinions. The authors and editors have created something special - highlighting the essence of the NSPE Code of Ethics and identifying key NSPE Board of Ethical Review opinions to illustrate the critical ethical concerns contained in those Code sections. I congratulate the authors on a job well done! Arthur E. Schwartz, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, NSPE
