Ethical Considerations for software engineers

Engineers should have ethics and standards of practices so that they don't contribute to things that are detrimental and bad. Engineers should have a moral guideline deciding when they should participate in something.

• each engineer should have their own guidelines to dictate whether they would contribute to something

• for example i care about data dignity, I would not work for a company that is doing the opposite

• each engineer should have their own opinions about the industry and their thoughts on where they would like to take it

If you do not have an ethical opinion, then consider what type of world you are helping to create by working for the company.

If you only care about career advance and further financial achievements, and think that ethics are not possible while achieving that, you are wrong.

When you have strong ethical standards, you further the scope of engineering to other areas, pioneering how to consider the respective field. Your value as an asset to a company has just increased massively with this simple change.
