Using the space shuttle programme as the framework, this book examines the role of ethical decision making in the practice of engineering. The design and development of the main engines of the space shuttle are considered as a paradigm for how individual engineers perceive, articulate and resolve ethical dilemmas in a large, complex organisation.
