Bribery cases in engineering typically involve a papertrail documenting what is to be received in exchange for the “gift”.

Briefly explain 2 conditions which should be met prior to an engineer deciding to alert the public about wrongdoing at their workplace.

Explain the concept of virtue ethics and how it applies to engineering research.

Which ethical theory aligns best with a cost-benefit analysis of a situation?
