Engineering Ethics - Case Studies in Theft through Fraud
This online engineering PDH course examines the engineering ethics aspects of theft through fraud in light of standards of conduct expected of professional engineers.
“Theft through fraud” refers to a type of theft in which deception—rather than force or unlawful entry—is used. The purpose of this course is to widen the professional engineer’s understanding of engineering ethics through consideration of six case studies of theft though fraud committed by engineers. The studies describe actual cases that have been successfully prosecuted by agencies of the U.S. federal government.
This 2 PDH course is intended for engineers interested in increasing their knowledge of engineering ethics through the study of real-life examples.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning the key role of deceit in defining fraud
- Appreciating the severity of the sentences and fines that can follow from conviction for fraud
- Understanding what legal charges result when theft through fraud is discovered
