First and foremost, during the first class of Dr Ridza for course Engineer and Society, he was asking us an important question, "Who want to be an engineer? " Dr Ridza have told us to have strong belief that we want to become an engineer. Without any interesting or forced by family to take this course is very hard for us to continues our journey. Besides, Dr Ridza also told us to respect lecturers and people who has longer experience, because we will be able to learn a lot of knowledge from them. Furthermore, Dr Ridza also shared us some experiences when he was working at hospital. He said that he has taken part to make sure the operation of the backup battery in the hospital. This is a serious job because that are more than 20 operation room that undergoes operation in every second counts which is not allow any mistake from his department. This shows the responsibility of the engineer when carry out a task is the most important attitude of an engineer. On the other hand, Dr Ridza also explained the important and benefits of a fresh graduated engineering students to register under Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM). Last but not least, Dr Ridza have briefed us the overview of the Teaching Plan (TP) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLO).

# data[].attributes.body
In week 1, Dr Ridza told us the backstory of his climb of position while being an Engineering by his own experience. To be an engineer, an individual must go through a tough path, which somewhat fun but rewarding job according to Dr. Ridza. We were exposed on work ethics, earning of an engineer, politics in works, heirachy of Engineerings and etc. To some extent, my interest in Engineering went skyrocketted from the delivery of Dr Ridza.
On top of that, Dr Ridza also expose to us of Teaching plan of this subject and explained about CLO to us.
To conclude, if we want to learn or do something without any interest, then our journey would be hard. Therefore we must cherish the path we took and appreciate that we had the chance to strive to be a passionate engineer.

Q1: 1.Q: Discussion professional ethnics and integrity for engineers to practice in their work

Dr. Ridza gave an overview of his background and gave an introduction of BEM throughout the first week. He also highlighted the differences between PE and PEPC. Dr. Ridza also discussed CLO for engineering and society subjects. We can choose our future action plan based on the exposure Dr. Ridza gave us.

# data[].attributes.body
In summary for 1st week, Dr Ridza tells about his journey background. Also, Dr Ridza explained about CLO and Teaching Plan for this subject to us. Next, Dr Ridza also tells us about definition of engineering which are methodical and iterative approach on designing objects and systems to meet human needs and desires. The branch of science and technology deals with the design, manufacture and use of machines. Besides, any change made to the natural or designed world to meet human needs considered technology. Engineers on the other hand, place more emphasis on the theoretical aspects of science, technology, engineering foundation and mathematics (STEM) in their work. Besides, engineering technologists are focused on the practical works of engineering principles. In short, to ensure that undergraduate studies meet the Board's of academic requirements, fresh graduates of engineering must register under the Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM).

Integrity and Ethics
Integrity is the act of behaving honorably follow with moral and ethical principles in all aspects of life. Integrity also needs for engineering in professional area work such as decision making, serving customers or clients and interacting with colleagues. Besides, integrity also is a concept of consistency in action, value, methods, measures and outcomes.

Overview of this course teaching plan, PLO,CLO

# data[].attributes.body
Q1: Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical ideas to real-world issues and the development of new products and processes across a wide range of industries and applications. Engineers create, construct, and manage a wide range of complex systems and structures, from buildings to software. While there are numerous engineering vocations, one continuous engineering philosophy exists: to innovate.

Engineers are held to the highest standards of honesty and integrity since they work in an important and sophisticated profession. Engineering has a direct and vital impact on everyone's quality of life. As a result, the services given by engineers must be honest, impartial, fair, and equitable, as well as dedicated to the protection of public health, safety, and welfare. Engineers must adhere to a professional standard of conduct that includes adhering to the highest ethical ideals.

The NJSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers is a document that was created to assist engineers in keeping  fact in mind and to serve as a guiding element in making difficult decisions during an engineer's career. The code of ethics can be summarized in two points:

1. SAFETY IS KEY
- Engineers, according to the preamble to the NJSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers, demand "honesty, impartiality, justice, and equity, and must be dedicated to the preservation of public health, safety, and welfare." When it comes to professional engineering ethics, it is about much more than just avoiding criminal action. It is about ensuring that the lives touched by the job are safe from incompetence and are at the forefront of an engineer's mind as they work.

2. INTEGRITY AND  HONESTY
- Another justification for having an ethical code for professional engineers is that it establishes a baseline for professional behavior. The public can be confident that you are not pulling a fast one or working for personal advantage. The norm of professional behavior provides the people you work with and for a foundation of trust that you will act in the best interests of the project and the public.

# data[].attributes.body
Engineering students must have interest in persuing their career in engineering field. The engineering field does not limited to be an engineer only. Student have been exposed to the career path from being the technician, junior engineer, senior engineer, consultant, lecturer with master and lecturer with PhD as well as the work politics and salary offered in each job scope.
Engineer plays an important role in the society because everything around us are engineering related; therefore the most important thing about engineer is work ethics and integrity. Students have been emphasied with professional integrity to maintaining appropriate ethical behaviour and to practice the ethical principle such as honesty, honor and trustworthiness.

The Latin adjective integer, which meaning "wholeness," is the root of the English term integrity. Having strong ethical or moral values and always upholding them, regardless of who is looking, is a quality known as integrity. A person with integrity behaves honorably, honestly, and faithfully. Integrity is a desirable quality in an employee since it shows that someone will work hard and uphold their morals. An individual who demonstrates integrity is one who is self-aware, responsible, accountable, and truthful, and whose acts are internally consistent. The practice of maintaining suitable ethical behavior is referred to as professional integrity. Professional integrity is defined as a professional who continuously and willingly practices within the parameters of a chosen profession's objective while bound by a Code of Ethics. There are five connected components to integrity: moral principles, intentions, thoughts, qualities, and remaining fast in the face of difficulties.

# data[].attributes.body
There are 7 attributes of integrity that brings together to the components which are honesty, respect, generating trust, pride, responsibility, keeping promises and helping others. Each component will play its own role to help with the built up of integrity for an engineer. First, honesty means we had to tell the truth and being open to others. What we had promise and speak to others must be done and that is what people had the most interest on it. Communication with people is always the critical part same as how much we can do according to what we had said. Next, giving respect to others as an engineer especially to our colleagues and senior where they are willing to share their precious experience to us and we must pay respect and humble to listen on it and gain it as another types of wealth. Not only that, while we are still studying and will soon graduate as a fresh engineer, we must always show respect to the lecturers neglecting age, gender, and title. Furthermore, generating trust is also important as people willing to pass some important mission to us is also a lesson that is hard to expertise hence building a trust relationship with others has been a positive commitment and always be ready to account your actions. Moreover, pride had also play an important role as the engineers could considered about the effort they had paid and knowing that their research or study had made some valuable difference hence the confidence can be accumulated and energized for the next job. Keeping promises is also hard to achieve. As an engineer, this is the most important as we are not dealing with some small project, but the collaboration may with the government so as it has been promised to be done on time, no matter 1 second late also considered we are not keeping our promises and handle it well. Integrity and ethics will do to the engineers to practice in their works is responsibility. Not only care yourself but always look around, most particularly your stakeholders. As a leader, responsibility had to be placed at the first place to taking care the junior and lead them to the right path on the road to be a successful engineer in their respective sector. Lastly, helping others will build a good relationship with others for example exchange the shift when our colleague facing some emergency cases and we can help within our ability is always grateful likewise in future time other people is willing to help us to duel with the problems. The quality of helpfulness can be boiled down to two crucial elements which are responding promptly to requests and being prepared to lend a hand to people at any time when there is necessary. Like pride, being helpful is its own reward and it represents as a precious experience.

Engineer is branch of science and technology which concerned with the design, building and use of engines, machines, and structures Engineer is profession in which knowledge of mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgement to develop ways to utilize economically. Integrity is very important for engineer at work and in our life. Integrity is quite important to everyone of us especially to the engineers as it means we are living in our own character and into the deepest of ourselves then the words that we spoke out to the people may be always keep as a promise as one of the characteristics of integrity is we had to be honest with everyone and always keep our words true. As we held integrity in our job as an engineer, it fulfills the requirements of being a leader and it is more likely to be considered for important promotion and leadership positions.

To become an engineer, Dr Ridza told us that student must have interest in this degree. All engineering students must be registered under Board of Engineering Malaysia (BEM) to become an engineer. Dr Ridza told us about his working experience from a student until becoming a lecturer. Each jobs has different salary, so education is a must to get a better job. To become a lecturer, a person need to become a PhD holder.

# data[].attributes.body
During week 1 of our introduction to Engineer and Society, Dr Ridza did a self introduction to the class and did some ice breaking session by asking us questions like who wants to be an engineer. He then told us his life experiences on how he managed to get his PhD as well as being a part of the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). He also briefly explained to us about the perks of being Lecturers and engineers as well as the workload and responsibility that comes with it. Thereafter, he proceeded with the explanation of our course and what is the teaching plan as well as the learning outcome of it.

In conclusion, this course made us understand that we have a responsibility as engineers-to-be in helping ourselves and society to grow together in achieving a better life.

# data[].attributes.body
Dr Ridza widened our views of how an engineer should be and what to expect in a workforce that categorized by rank with different payroll. Dr Ridza told us his life long journey of engineering experience up to his current position as a lecturer shows lots of sacrifices and critical dicissions to be made. Future planning and what we want to be is key into becoming a sucessfull engineer.

We learned that a professional engineer need to be registered under the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) to legally work. Their primary role is to regulate professional conduct and practice to ensure the safety and interest of the public.

# data[].attributes.body
Dr. Ridza summarises the first class by outlining his history. Dr. Ridza also gave us an explanation of the CLO and the teaching plan for this subject. Dr. Ridza then goes on to define engineering as a deliberate, iterative approach to building systems and objects to satisfy human wants and desires. Design, production, and application of machines are the topics covered by this discipline of science and technology. In addition, any alteration to the created or natural world made to accommodate human requirements is seen as technology. Additionally, engineering technologists are interested in applying engineering ideas in real-world situations. In summary, recent engineering graduates must register with the Board of Engineer Malaysia in order to ensure that their undergraduate studies match the BEM standards.

Integrity is essential for success in any role and can help you advance in your career. By staying committed to your ethical principles, you can set a positive example for others and ensure a better workplace experience for all.
the 3 main attributes includes honesty, respect and responsibility;

professional honesty is the practice of showing strong adherence to moral and ethical principles and values such as honesty, honor, dependability and trustworthiness. For example, people who behave with professional integrity generally uphold a moral standard of conduct, both in professional as well as personal endeavors.

Respect calls for taking a more comprehensive view of the situation, giving the other person the benefit of the doubt, and providing them the chance to express their concerns or interests. People start to see signs of respect when everyone is trying their best in this way. Ask courteous inquiries, gather facts, and give the other person a chance to speak and explain. Respect must be gained, and it is only won when both parties put out an effort.

Responsibility is to take accountability for your actions even when you miss the mark. It’s easy to take ownership when you do something well. However, integrity really comes into play when you face failure. If you want to live with integrity and grow personally, you must learn to admit when you make a mistake and then choose to learn from it.

These standards govern how professionals conduct themselves, their work ethic and their communication practices. Professional integrity is what gives employees a reason to trust that leaders will place professional standards over their own self-interests.

Discussion professional ethnics and integrity for engineers to practice in their work 

# data[].attributes.body
As an engineer, we should tell the truth, being open and not taking advantage of others. When we faced problem, we can discuss problems with teammate honestly and worked through a solution. As a responsible engineer we need to take responsibly on our action and learn from our mistake. As a professional engineer, we need to hear other colleague opinion before speaking and avoid interrupting during the meeting. Finally, we also need to keep our promise, our commitment and take responsible on our action.

There are seven attributes of integrity which are respect, honesty, pride, generate trust, keeping promise, responsibility and helping others. When undergoing business, we have to incorporate honesty and integrity by take responsibility and stay focused. We also have to keep our words and be commitment to our work. The value of integrity in a person is so important in order to gain trust from other people, it also will give a positive effect to our work. In workplace, we must demonstrate the value of integrity and honesty.

As we can summarize what we had learnt through the lecture held in week 1 is that the background of BEM and what BEM is related to the engineers in Malaysia and how important it is especially for a fresh graduate engineer to be able to hold their title and work as a professional engineer in their respective sector. Next, we also learnt about how to take on courage to jump out from our own comfort zone to gain more experience in different job and hence we should also improve ourselves for expert in some soft skills and don’t be shy to ask any questions, do not afraid of failure as it is a very precious experience to all of us. Next, what Dr Ridza had experienced as an engineer at first to now as a lecturer at university is worth for us to study and try to follow the path step by step and road to success.

CODE OF CONDUCT that need to be followed by registered individual to fulfill their responsibility.

A code of conduct is a company manual that outlines a organisation rules, beliefs, goals, ethics, and vision. It gives employees a clear overview of anticipated behaviour as well as guidelines on what the organisation considers to be excellent practises.

Every Handbook may include several sorts of codes of conduct, including these five principles:

1. Integrity
-In all professional and business engagements, members must act with integrity. Integrity entails not only honesty but also fair dealing and truthfulness.

2. Objectivity
- Members must be fair, unbiased, and intellectually honest, and they must not allow prejudice or bias, conflict of interest, or the influence of others to trump Objectivity. Members participating in specific types of engagements must be and appear to be independent.

3. Competence
- Members must only engage in professional work if they have the requisite Competence to do the work to the expected technical and professional standards.

4. Confidentiality
- requires Members to refrain from exposing confidential information obtained as a result of professional or business connections and from using such information for their own or third-party benefit.

5. Professionalism.
-Members must act in a way consistent with the profession's excellent reputation and refrain from any activity that could bring the profession into disrepute.

A well-written Code of Conduct clarifies an organization's vision, objectives, and beliefs, connecting them to professional conduct requirements. The code articulates the principles that the organisation seeks to instil in its leaders and employees, as well as the intended behaviour. As a result, written codes of ethics or conduct can serve as benchmarks against which individual and organisational performance can be judged. A Code is also a primary guide and reference for employees to use in making day-to-day decisions. A Code promotes ethical and compliance talks, equipping employees to deal with ethical quandaries that arise in the course of their work. It can also be a useful reference tool, assisting employees in locating essential documents, services, and other resources linked to ethics within the firm.

It is also a requirement for membership in a professional organisation. It establishes the norms by which every professional interacts with challenges in his professional life, and it even extends to an individual's perspective of social values.

Code Of Conduct

A code of conduct is the most common policy within an organization. This policy lays out the company’s principles, standards, and the moral and ethical expectations that employees and third parties are held to as they interact with the organization. A code of conduct is an integral part of compliance efforts as it provides documentation that an employee or third party has violated company policy if illegal activity arises. Let’s explore what a code of conduct means and the impact it can have on an organization.

Why is Having a Code of Conduct Important?

A code of conduct serves as a reference point for employees to make better choices on a day-to-day basis. While every possible ethical dilemma an employee might encounter won’t be spelled out, the code should lay out the guiding principles by which employees should act and therefore lead there workforce to make the right decision.

What Should a Code of Conduct Include?

There are a few common elements that every code of conduct should feature. An ethical code of conduct should include a letter from the CEO, reiterate the company’s values, and outline how violations are handled.
The letter from the CEO should emphasize the organization’s commitment to these standards. The note is an opportunity to express the leadership team’s prioritization of compliance and ethics.
The code of conduct is a great place to drive the organization’s values home with employees and third parties because they will be signing and therefore agreeing to uphold these standards. Selecting your organization’s values is a critical step in building a flourishing business, and establishing a culture of compliance.

What is an Effective Code of Conduct in an Organization?

Best-in-class codes of conduct have a few traits in common.
First, they are regularly reviewed. Updating the organization’s code of conduct on an annual basis ensures that the content is up-to-date and relevant as things are always changing within organizations. The code should be a living, breathing document that is highly relevant to employees and their work.
Second, the signatures are properly managed by a policy deployment solution that tracks signatures and time stamps dates. You can write the best code of conduct in the world, but if you don’t correctly deploy it to your employees and third parties, what was the point? Strive for your employees and third parties to sign the code of conduct and understand the contents and implications.
Lastly, an effective code of conduct is digestible by the audience it is intended for. It is not inundated with legal speak that only the lawyers at the company can understand but instead written in an uncomplicated format that is easy for all to comprehend. While this may seem like a simple point to emphasize, its impact on the adoption and impact of the code of conduct within an organization can not be overstated.

Upon completing your engineering degree, you’ll need to register with BEM as a Graduate Engineer.

Subsequently, to be entitled to register as a professional engineer, you’ll need to gain 3 years of working experience as a Graduate Engineer. This must include:

·         2 years of general training for professional development

·         At least 1 year of professional career development and training that exposes you to various managerial and technical expertise

At least 1 year of the above-mentioned training must be completed in Malaysia under the supervision of a Professional Engineer in the same field of engineering. This is critical so that you are familiar with local conditions and the country’s by-laws.

You’ll also need to have sufficient design and site experience, depending on your engineering discipline.

Once you’ve obtained all the necessary experience, you’ll need to sit for the Professional Assessment Exam (PAE). The PAE consists of a professional interview and a written examination that requires you to write 2 essays.

If you successfully pass the PAE, you’ll be able to register as a Professional Engineer

Once you have passed the PAE and meet the criteria to be a professional engineer, you can proceed to register as a Professional Engineer with BEM. At this stage, you will have the status of professional engineer and can use the abbreviation “Ir.” before your name or “P.Eng.” after your name.

ROUTE TO BECOMING A  PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER

Our lecturer explained that there were 3 ways to become a professional engineer. The 3 ways are as follows.
1)  BEM's Professional Assessment Examination (PAE)
2) IEM's Enhanced Professional Interview ( Enhanced PI)
3) Inspector of Works
--------------------------------------------

What is P.Eng

During the lecture, lecturer had explained about the term of P.Eng. P.Eng stands for Professional Engineer. It is a term referred to a qualified engineer practicing with license from BEM.

P.Eng is a person who is governed by regulator laws (Engineers Act, 1967) when performing duties which also means to provide professional service  endorsed with PE seal.

To becoming an engineer, graduates need to register to BEM because once an engineer register to BEM, the person will receive a registration number and registration level.
--------------------------------------------

The differences between PE and PEPC

PE
A Professional Engineer is a person registered under Section 10(2) of the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 (Revised 2015).

A Professional Engineer who is registered with the Board may:

- take up employment which requires him to carry out or perform professional engineering services

- Be entitled to describe himself or hold himself out under any name, style or title. Using Ir or P.Eng before his name

- use or display any sign, board, card or other device representing or implying that he is a Professional Engineer

- use the stamp as may be determined by the Board

PEPC

A Professional Engineer with Practising Certificate is a person registered under subsection 10D of the Registration of Engineers Act (Revised 2015).

A Professional Engineer with Practising Certificate who is registered with the Board may

- practise, carry on business or take up employment which requires him to carry out or perform professional engineering services for designated engineering works subject to section 8

- Be entitled to describe himself or hold himself out under any name, style or title. Using Ir or P.Eng before his name

- use or display any sign, board, card or other device representing or implying that he is a Professional Engineer

- be entitled to recover in any court any fee, charge, remuneration or other form of consideration for any professional engineering services rendered subject to section 8

- use the stamp as may be determined by the Board.

P.Eng. stands for  Professional  Engineer. It is a term referred to qualified engineers practicing with license from the Board of Engineers Malaysia. Professional Engineers are also called PE. A person must complete a degree in Engineering as a requirement to be registered with BEM to become a Graduate Engineer. Only Graduate Engineers who demonstrate capabilities as engineers for a sufficient period of time are allowed to be upgraded to PE. Next, to become a Professional Engineer, there is a training requirement that must be completed beforehand. Minimum of 3 years working experience must be gain under the supervision of a Professional Engineer in the same field. After a few years of practical experience, the Graduate Engineer can apply to sit for a Professional Interview and sit for Professional Asessment Examination. After passing the interview and examination, the title of PE can be applied by with BEM. Once you become PE, you need 50 hours of Continuing Professional Develepmont (CPD) per year to maintain your PE status.

# data[].attributes.body
The REGISTERED ENGINEER REGULATION 1990 establishes numerous CODE OF CONDUCT FOR REGISTERED PERSONS.

1. Registered Engineer not to fabricate qualifications

A registered Engineer shall not falsify his qualifications or allow his or his colleagues' qualifications to be misrepresented. He must not overstate or misrepresent his responsibilities in earlier tasks.

2. A Registered Professional Engineer cannot accept benefits from more than one party

A registered engineer should not accept any advantage or compensation, financial or otherwise, from more than one party for engineering services on the same project, or engineering services related to the same project, unless the conditions are fully disclosed and agreed to by all interested parties.

3. Only a registered engineer can certify work if he has authority over oversight.

A registered engineer who takes over a job must assume all liabilities and duties for the work that has already been completed.

# data[].attributes.body
In the 4th week, Dr Ridza explained the necessary steps to enable Graduate Engineers to be registered by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) as Professional Engineers (P.Eng). Among the steps that need to be taken are:

1) Register with the Board of Engineers after graduation as it is mandatory under the Engineers Act 1967 for all serving engineers to register with the Board.

2) All Graduate engineers are required to complete at least THREE (3) years of relevant work experience after graduation with an accredited engineering degree. This training assignment should be completed as best as possible under the guidance of a P.Eng equivalent to a Graduate Engineer.

3) After registration with the Board, engineers can approach their objective of obtaining a P.Eng either on their own or through IEM.

4) When candidates have completed their training (either on their own or through IEM), the next step for them is to sit for a Professional Interview conducted by IEM or BEM.

5) After passing this Professional Interview (which consists of oral questions and essay writing), they are then eligible to apply to BEM to be registered as a P.Eng and can be accepted as a Corporate Member of IEM.

A successful PE can add Ir. in front of their name and PEng behind the name.It is an offense and punishable by law, if anyone impersonates a PE. In Malaysia, only PE whose name is in the BEM registrar is allowed to use Ir. in front of their names.

Once it becomes PE, it doesn't end. We need to gain 50 hours of CPD a year to maintain PE status.

----------------------------------------------------------

What is Professional Assessment Examination?

The PAE consists of a professional interview, followed by an essay. In a professional interview, the candidate's practical experience will be assessed by the examiner on time and quality. Candidates will be tested in the following aspects:

1. Understand the application of engineering principles to solve problems arising from the investigation, planning, design, construction, operation or maintenance of engineering works or on the subject of his research

2. Communication skills.

Candidates are required to write two essays, one each from part A and part B.This essay aims to test the candidate's ability to organize knowledge and thoughts and express them in words clearly and concisely.

Environmental Sustainability

When we’re feeling stressed or out of touch, many of us instinctively go for walks. We search for forests, parks, beaches, and country roads to feel more at peace connected to nature. Given that fact, it’s no surprise that human well-being is intrinsically linked to the environment’s health. About 24% of global human deaths are caused, directly or indirectly, by avoidable environmental factors. To live long and healthy lives, we need and deserve unpolluted air to breathe, clean water to drink, and live in places free of toxic substances.

As the global population grows and we begin to see the long-term consequences of excessive energy use and industrial growth, we must prevent further damage. It is our job to ensure our future generations have healthy places to live and minimize our damage to the earth’s biodiverse ecosystems. For businesses, sustainability means running a business through sustainable practices and securing future growth potential without causing too much damage to the environment.

What is environmental sustainability?

According to the U.N. Environment Programme, environmental sustainability involves making life choices that ensure an equal, if not better, way of life for future generations.

Environmental sustainability aims to improve the quality of human life without putting unnecessary strain on the earth's supporting ecosystems. It’s about creating an equilibrium between consumerist human culture and the living world. We can do this by living in a way that doesn’t waste or unnecessarily deplete natural resources.

Why is sustainability important?

Environmental sustainability is important because of how much energy, food and human-made resources we use every day. Rapid population growth has resulted in increased farming and manufacturing, leading to more greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable energy use, and deforestation.

In other words, we need more energy and materials than ever before. Despite this, our planet can only provide so many resources before they begin to deplete. For this reason, businesses must step in and do their part. They have more power than any group of individuals, and they can help secure a livable future by investing in sustainable and responsible practices like reducing waste, using commercial clean energy, and paying fair wages.

What is a simple definition of environmental sustainability?

In simple terms, environmental sustainability is the practice of interacting with the planet responsibly. We do it to avoid depleting natural resources and compromising the future generation’s ability to meet their daily needs.

What are some examples of environmental sustainability?

There are two primary ways in which environmental sustainability can be achieved: by individuals and by corporations and government bodies.

As individuals, we can take small but effective steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle, like using less water, reducing our meat consumption and switching to reusable products to reduce our dependence on single-use plastics.

From a corporation’s perspective, environmental sustainability may involve switching to renewable energy in warehouses, factories and offices or cutting down on single-use plastics in manufacturing.

Engineers are routinely involved in planning and managing projects where they should:

-Harness their skills to minimize damage to people or the environment from engineering processes and products.

-Undertake a comprehensive risk assessment before a project begins Ensure that the risk assessment includes the potential environmental, economic and social impacts, beyond the lifetime of the engineering project.

-Give sustainability the benefit of any doubt, adopting a precautionary approach where scientific knowledge is not conclusive.

-Instigate monitoring systems so that any environmental and social impacts of engineering projects are identified at an early stage.

# data[].attributes.body
Economic sustainability is a broad set of decision-making principles and business practices aimed at achieving economic growth without engaging in the harmful environmental trade-offs that historically accompany growth. Ideally, sustainable development creates operational systems that consume natural capital (also known as natural resources) slowly enough that future generations can also use those resources.

Sustainable practices can tackle the problem of humans' collective ecological footprint in several ways. They can focus on reducing the depletion of the natural environment or come at the issue from the other direction by finding ways to reduce waste, limit carbon emissions, and utilize solar energy. The unifying principle behind economic sustainability is rejecting wasteful short-term processes and embracing the planet's long-term well-being.

A sustainable economy is essential for various reasons, with justifications ranging from high-minded environmentalism to corporate interest.
1. ﻿﻿﻿The longevity of the global economy: The worldwide reliance on unsustainable practices has a necessary end date since the planet's natural resources are not infinite. Developing new processes and investing in different resources is essential for any commercial activity to continue for the long haul.
2. ﻿﻿﻿The preservation of human life: Climate change caused by the overuse of fossil fuels has created a dire situation for Earth and humans' ability to inhabit it. By trying to limit energy consumption and adjusting the approach to food production, humans have the opportunity to preserve the planet for posterity.
3. ﻿﻿﻿Unrealized discoveries: The natural environment has long been a source of discovery and innovation. Therefore, the constant degradation of natural surroundings jeopardizes the opportunity to unearth new compounds and processes that could serve as the basis for new products or other economic benefits.

Principles of Sustainable Engineering

As described in the earlier parts of this course, sustainable engineering should be founded on ideas that promote sustainable development. Engineering serves as a bridge between design (the notion of how to offer an environmentally friendly solution to a technical problem) and implementation and manufacturing. When it comes to technology development, practically every level of the technological ready spectrum is connected to the engineering phase. To ensure that technological development and scale-up follow the environmentally friendly path, sustainable engineering concepts should be considered and utilised early.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR ENGINEERS TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABILITY

Engineers should perform their duties in international contexts that include social, moral, ethical, and economic issues. An engineer will follow these six guidelines to ensure sustainable development (Dodds and Venebles, 2005). They will support engineers in upholding their professional duties to pursue sustainability and make sure that this objective is incorporated into all engineering activity.

USE RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY

As custodians of the planet's resources, engineers have a duty to society to produce more valuable goods and services with the least number of resources (raw materials, water, and energy) used. They must, therefore, comprehend that there are environmental restrictions and limited resources.

• Reduce waste creation by being efficient with the resources that are used

• Reduce resource demand by utilising fewer resources in the first place.

• Implement strategies for component and material reuse, recycling, decommissioning, and disposal

• Minimize any negative effects on sustainability at the design stage

• Use systems and products that reduce embedded carbon, energy and water use, waste, and pollution.

MANAGE RISK TO MINIMIZE ADVERSE IMPACT TO PEOPLE OR THE ENVIRONMENT

Engineers frequently participate in project management and planning where they shouldn't:

Utilize their knowledge to reduce harm that engineering procedures and products cause to people or the environment.

Perform a thorough risk analysis before a project starts.

Make sure the risk assessment takes into account any potential long-term effects on the environment, the economy, and society.

Give sustainability the benefit of the doubt and take precautions where there is a lack of definitive scientific understanding.

Install monitoring systems to enable early detection of any negative effects of engineering projects on the environment and society.

# data[].attributes.body
Contribute to building a sustainable society, present, and future.
Engineers have a responsibility to maximize the value of their activity toward building a sustainable world. This requires an understanding of what society demands and what is achievable, and are cognition that these change over time.

- Recognize that through their activity may be immediate, the potential impacts of their work may be global and long-lasting.

-  Have an understanding of other relevant social and cultural structures outsides their own normal community of practice.

-  Understand their important role in the sustainable development of communities

Apply professional and responsible judgment and take a leadership role.
Engineering is a professional with a strong ethical dimension. Engineers have an important role in providing solutions to the problems such as poverty, under-development, and environmental degradation.

-  Ensure that their knowledge about sustainable development is up to date

-   Identify all the issues and options to the decision maker about a project of that decisions are soundly based.

Do more than comply with legislation and codes.
In seeking sustainable solutions, complying with current legislation, codes and environmental protection regulations may not be sufficient.

-  Go beyond the minimum wherever possible, anticipating future legislation which may be stronger

-  Alert the relevant authorities if there are deficiencies in legislation and if sustainable solutions and outcomes could be dangered by regulatory change.

Use resources efficiently and effectively.
Engineers have as towards hip role with respect to planetary resources, and a responsibility to society to create more useful products and services with the lowest possible consumption of raw materials, water, and energy

-  Understand that there are environmental limits and finite resources

-  Reduces resources demand by using less in the first place

Seek multiple views to solve sustainability challenges.
The increasing complexity of sustainability challenges means that engineers working alone cannot solve all the challenges that we face

-  Engage with stakeholders, listening and recognizing the value of the perspectives of others, including non-specialists

-  Avoid working in isolation, involving other professionals at all stages of projects.

Manage risk to minimize adverse impacts on people or the environment.
Engineers are routinely involved in planning and managing projects

-  Harness their skills to minimize damage to people or the environment from engineering processes and products

-  Undertake a comprehensive risk assessment before a project begins.

"Sustainability" has become a buzzword. But what does it actually mean? Sustainability can be broadly defined as “meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

When the concepts contained in the three spheres of sustainability are applied to real-world situations, everybody wins. Natural resources are preserved, the environment is protected, the economy isn't harmed, and the quality of life for our people is improved or maintained. Above is a diagram showing the three spheres and how they are related.

Environmental Sustainability

In a truly sustainable environment, an ecosystem would maintain populations, biodiversity, and overall functionality over an extended period of time. Ideally, decisions that are made should promote equilibrium within our natural systems and seek to encourage positive growth.

Economic Sustainability

Similar to environmental sustainability, economic sustainability involves creating economic value out of whatever project or decision you are undertaking. Economic sustainability means that decisions are made in the most equitable and fiscally sound way possible while considering the other aspects of sustainability.

Social Sustainability

Social sustainability is based on the concept that a decision or project promotes the betterment of society. In general, future generations should have the same or greater quality of life benefits as the current generation do. This concept also encompasses many things such as human rights, environmental law, and public involvement & participation.

Each and every principle stated above should assist engineers to fulfilling professional responsibility and ensuring these aim is incorporated into all engineering activities

The Sustainable Development

Sustainability is based on three pillars which are economic, environmental, and social. These three pillars are informally referred to as people, planet, and profits.

The Environmental

Many businesses are working to minimize their water use, packaging waste, carbon footprints, and other environmental harm. These actions can benefit the economy in addition to the environment. The fact that a company's influence is frequently not completely costed, which means that there are externalities that are not reflected in consumer pricing, is one of the difficulties with the environmental.

The Social

The social pillar connects to a social licence, another ill-defined term. Employees, shareholders, and the community in which a firm operates should all be in favour of it. There are many ways to gain and keep this support, but ultimately it boils down to treating employees fairly and acting responsibly in both the local and global communities.

The Economy

The majority of firms consider their footing to be secure in the economic pillar of sustainability. A firm has to be lucrative to last. The economic pillar acts as a check against excessive steps that businesses may be pressured to take, including immediately quitting fossil fuels or chemical fertilizers instead of making adjustments gradually.

HOW TO ASSIST THE PRINCIPLES FOR ENGINEERS TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABILITY
An engineer will follow these six guidelines to ensure sustainable development. They will support engineers in upholding their professional duties to pursue sustainability. Engineers should perform their duties in international contexts that include social, moral, ethical, and economic issues.

ENGINEERING ETHICS
Protecting the public health, safety and welfare and demonstrating professional competence. Professional engineering ethics is divided into :

1.  MICRO-ETHICS
Micro-ethics
- Concerned with the moral aspects of relations.
- Conduct of issues in everyday issues.

2. MACRO-ETHICS
- Large-scale moral issues concerning the members of the profession as a collective in their relations.
- Setting engineering standards in society.
- Setting debate influencing the infrastructure development policy.

Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In other words,  it is a challenge of meeting human needs for natural resources, industrial products,  energy, food, transportation, shelter, and effective waste management while conserving and protecting environmental quality and the natural resources base essential for the future development. There are the three spheres of sustainability. First, environmental, which is natural resources use, environmental management and pollution prevention. Next, social, which is standard of living, education, community and equal opportunity. Lastly, economic, which is profit, cost savings, economic growth, research and development. In this three spheres of sustainability, it also contains three other things which are social-environmental, environmental-economic and economic-social. Environmental problems in Malaysia can be solved by using high efficient engine that perform well with minimal petrol used, use hybrid car, use electric car, designing energy efficient building, green architecture based on energy efficient approach and using natural light, ventilation, orientation, materials selection.

Core Issues and Challenges in Engineering Ethics
1. quality assurance engineer must decide whether or not to ship products that might be defective.
2. A manager at a consumer electronics company is debating whether or not to reveal confidential information to a valued customer.
3. To avoid a delay in her company's IPO, a technical sales engineer feels compelled to falsify a sales report.
4. For marketing objectives, a computer engineer is asked to disclose sensitive medical information.

What is environmental sustainability?
a social objective that broadly aspires for long-term, peaceful coexistence of humanity on Earth. Since it is difficult to come to consensus on specific definitions of sustainability, they change over time and in the literature. At the global, national, and individual levels, decisions can be influenced by the idea of sustainability (e.g. sustainable living). Environmental, economic, and social pillars are the three dimensions (sometimes known as pillars) that are frequently used to explain sustainability. According to numerous publications, the environmental dimension—also known as "planetary integrity" or "ecological integrity"—should be prioritised above all others. As a result, when the word "sustainability" is used in ordinary speech, the environmental implications are frequently highlighted.

Why is sustainability important?
Living sustainably enhances our standard of living, safeguards our ecology, and protects natural resources for future generations. In the business world, sustainability is linked to an organization's all-encompassing strategy that considers everything from customer service to manufacturing and logistics. Going green and sustainable is advantageous for the business and enhances the long-term effects of a focus on the environment.

What is a simple definition of environmental sustainability?
Sustainability is simply defined by the UN as "filling current demands without compromising the ability of future generations to fulfil their own needs. Mike Weinstein, the SNHU director of sustainability, remarked, "I appreciate this definition. It challenges us to think about two issues: first, what are 'needs'? Second, what is life like outside of us? According to Weinstein, "needs" include access to clean water, wholesome food, and secure housing. He also notes that billions of people still do not have access to all three of these necessities. A global nonprofit organisation called Water estimates that 771 million people, or nearly one in ten people, lack access to clean water (Water PDF Source).

What are some examples of environmental sustainability?

I. Sanitation and clean water: For instance, figuring out how to not waste water
II. Taking immediate steps to halt global warming
III. undersea life: keeping the waters clean by refraining from using plastic bags
IV. on the land: increasing tree cover to safeguard the environment
V. sane production and consumption: Items like paper, plastic, glass, and aluminium may all be recycled.
VI. Sustainable urban and rural areas: commuting by bike, foot, or public transportation

Social aspect:

Social sustainability is about identifying and managing business impacts, both positive and negative, on people. The quality of a company's relationships and engagement with its stakeholders is critical. Directly or indirectly, companies affect what happens to employees, workers in the value chain, customers and local communities, and it is important to manage impacts proactively.
Businesses' social license to operate depends greatly on their social sustainability efforts. In addition, a lack of social development, including poverty, inequality and weak rule of law, can hamper business operations and growth.
At the same time, actions to achieve social sustainability may unlock new markets, help retain and attract business partners, or be the source for innovation for new product or service lines. Internal morale and employee engagement may rise, while productivity, risk management and company-community conflict improve.
The first six of the UN Global Compact's principles focus on this social dimension of corporate sustainability, of which human rights is the cornerstone. Our work on social sustainability also covers the human rights of specific groups: labour, women's empowerment and gender equality, children, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, as well as people-centered approaches to business impacts on poverty. As well as covering groups of rights holders, social sustainability encompasses issues that affecting them, for example, education and health.
While it is the primary duty of governments to protect, respect, fulfil and progressively realize human rights, businesses can, and should, do their part. At a minimum, we expect businesses to undertake due diligence to avoid harming human rights and to address
any adverse impacts on human rights that may be related to their activities.

Ethical aspect :

The manifestation of professionalism and ethical consciousness on the part of engineers occurs through their interaction with the clients, employers, colleagues and associates of other institutions, stakeholders and others regarded as the public. Professional ethics is a response to the interests of clients, individual professionals, and the profession as a whole Professional ethics is embedded in our personal style and content of our professional work, concerned with the planning and project management from inception to the life-cycle operation and maintenance of a project. The activities of an engineering project entail selection of technology, appraisal of positivistic data and information, and value-laden judgements.

Professional engineering ethics can be divided into two categories of micro-ethics and macro-ethics:

-Micro-ethics is concerned with the moral aspects of relations and conduct of issues in the everyday matters.

-Macro-ethics refers to large-scale moral issues concerning the members of the profession as a collective in their relations with and responsibility to the society. Social responsibility includes, setting engineering standards in the society and debate influencing the infrastructure development policy. The professional social responsibility points in two directions: inwardly at self-policing to prevent abuses by colleagues, and outwardly to the making of public policy.

Key concepts of engineering ethics include:
1)Protecting the public health, safety and welfare
-conformance with applicable standards
-approval and sealing of engineering drawings
-awareness of safety violations
-awareness of illegal practice

2)demonstrating professional competence
-education, experience, qualifications
-acceptance of assignment
-coordination of work
-scope of practice

How we as an individual can contribute something benefits to green building?

As an individual, there are some ways we can contribute to concept of green building which are:

1) Aggressively promote the green building campaign as well as share the information of green building concept to the public

- We should aggressively promote the campaign of green building to the public via social media platform such as facebook, instagram and so on so that public will get to involve themselves with the campaign and they will have opportunity to understand more on the concept of green building.

- We can also learn and share the contents and information regarding to the green building concept in the social media forum so that more people will concern and discuss on the issue or challenges faced  of realizing the green building concept.

2) Suggest or take part to purchase house that near to public transport station.

- As house buyer, we can opt to purchase houses that close to the public transport station. This can allow us to easily get to boarding the public transport and ay the same time by boarding public transport it can help to minimize the number of vehicle on the road. The less number of vehicle, the lower the rate of air pollution which this scenario can help to preserve the good air quality of the environment. Besides, we should suggest to others on choosing on houses near to the public transport station so that others can be beneficial from this as well as a way to decrease the rate of air pollution.

3) Involve in decorating the building with flora

- As a house tenant, we can promote and realize the green building concept by decorating our house indoor/ outdoor with plants. Plants are very good medium in cooling the environmental temperature which they help to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. With this act, the global warming issues can be tackled and at the same time this also introduce good looking design on the housing decoration.

4) Try not to apply or install material/device  in house which will affect the environment

- Several materials or devices such as air conditional, leaded paint will significantly affect the environment. This is because the chemical substances contained or expelled by the device are poisonous and they can lead to health hazards and destroying of environment. Hence, we should not use or apply those harmful material or device .Besides, we should also try to reduce the usage of electricity. For example, we should always clean the fan to enable it to perform at its full efficiency and for the old electrical appliances such as refrigerator, washing machine or so on should be serviced to avoid any leakage of electricity.

5) Help to reduce extra waste or pollution in the housing area.

- Rubbish or domestic wastes should be properly managed. Most of the wastes are actually can be recycled hence we should carefully manage the domestic waste by classifying the waste according to recyclable and non-recyclable categories to reduce the number of wastes. Moreover, we should not conducting activities in the housing area that can lead to pollution such as open-burning, logging and so on. With this, our environment condition can be secured.

Week 4 summary - Road to Professional Engineer

# data[].attributes.body
This week we had learned about the route to becoming a professional engineer but PE can only be upgraded but not registered. Only the fresh graduate engineers are allowed to registered with BEM then they will get a registration number and also registration level with related branch based on the major field they had studied and covered the most and get their specific title as an engineer. Next, in order to upgrade to become a professional engineer, the most important factors is to have sufficient experience as an engineer for at least 3 to 4 years with aspect of training in professional engineering. A graduate engineer should also demonstrate capabilities as an engineer for a sufficient period to be allowed to upgrade to become PE. There are 3 main factors becoming PE which are qualifications, experience and documentation. What is means by documentation is that the graduate engineer should keep their respective technical research paper on their profession field and the project they had done throughout their engineer career to gain and gather experience for them to move on to the second step becoming a PE. After few years of practical experience which supervised by an existing PE, the graduate engineer is allowed to apply for a Professional Interview and sit for an exam then after passing all exam, they can apply with BEM to entitled them as PE. Next the target is to become a Professional Engineer with Practicing Certificate and only PEPC is allow to sign plans for submission to the local authorities. The condition is they must had CPD which stands for continuing professional development like attend the technical talk or conference, publish their own journal on engineering profession so on. The route to professional engineers is not easy as they will have to sit for oral and written exam on Professional Interview also the candidate will be assessed on technical and non-technical issues. After they fail the exam, a 1 year period will be suspended for reexam to apply for PE.

The goal of economic sustainability is to achieve economic growth without making the negative environmental trade-offs that traditionally go hand in hand with growth. Economic sustainability is a broad set of decision-making principles and business practises. The goal of sustainable development is to design operational systems that deplete natural capital (sometimes referred to as natural resources) gradually enough to allow for the continued use of those resources by future generations.

There are various ways that sustainable practises might address the issue of humanity's overall ecological footprint. They can concentrate on stopping the deterioration of the environment or approach it from a different angle by figuring out how to cut back on waste, minimise carbon emissions, and make use of solar energy. Economic sustainability is based on the guiding premise that we should reject wasteful short-term processes and support the long-term health of the world.

There are many reasons why a sustainable economy is important, from corporate interests to lofty environmentalism.
1. The sustainability of the world economy: Since the planet's natural resources are finite, relying on unsustainable practises globally must come to an end. Any commercial enterprise that wants to last the long haul needs to invest in new resources and develop new procedures.
2. The preservation of human life: The Earth and humans' ability to live on it are in grave peril due to climate change brought on by excessive use of fossil fuels. Humans have the chance to protect the earth for future generations by making an effort to reduce energy usage and change how food is produced.

How we as an individual can contribute  benefit to green building

A green building, also known as a sustainable building, which this concept was developed in the 1970s in response to the energy crisis and our society's increasing concern for the environment. Green building is a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or re-used in an ecological and resource efficient manner. Green building which integrated with eco-friendly design and construction can provide the most significant benefits like reduces wastage of water and energy as well as it can improves the quality of life. Hence, as an user, we should contribute some benefit to green building. For example, we can save energy and money in existing Building.

Firstly, the existing building can retrofit to save energy like install solar panels. Solar panels are an emerging and hot technology which can let us utilize the natural power all around us, the sun.

Next, we can use energy efficient window. Energy efficient windows are much more energy-efficient than normal windows. With more efficient windows, we can use less energy, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and homes.

Moreover, we can apply eco-friendly lighting replacement of traditional incandescent bulbs. Both LED and CFL use less energy and last longer than  traditional incandescent bulbs so that they offer significant cost savings in the long run

Green building is also regarded as the sustainable building or environmental building and it is widely built all around the world especially in the 21st century as it can help to resolve the environmental issue such as green house effect and also global warming. The effective green building can also lead to reduced operating costs by increasing productivity and using less energy and water, improved public and occupant health due to improved indoor air quality. The number of authorities, organizations and institutions are working on raising consciousness about Green building and driven by standards of LEED. We as an user should also contribute some benefits to green building. There are few ways we can generate and give benefits to green building in order to help in resolve the world issue. We can save energy and money in existing buildings.
1) First of all, the user can apply retrofit to save energy.
-For example, a solar panel can be install on the roof as a replacement energy for electricity compared to the traditional by using solar energy from the sun and convert to electrical energy for daily uses in the houses.
2) Next we can use energy efficient window.
-The Low-E coated glass could help to control heat transfer through windows with insulated glazing and also help reduced over 40% of energy loss although the cost is higher.
3) Stop other heating and cooling loses.
-This is by attic insulation. For average home, the most important place to reduce heat loss is the attic and roof so the proper air sealing and quality insulation will prevent air movement and block heat loss, stop moisture from collecting. This will ensure energy efficiency and so energy can be save for preventing overused electrical appliances such as heater or air-conditioner.
4) Use energy efficient appliances for lightning.
-Energy efficient lightning involves in replacement of traditional lamp such as incandescent lamp with fluorescent lamp, CFL lamps or LED lamps. It includes the turning off lights automatically when they are not in use and these lamps uses electronic chokes instead of ballasts in case of conventional lightning with use of electronic circuitry. These schemes can reduced energy consumption, enhance lighting quality and reduce environmental impacts.

We as an user should also contribute some benefits to the green building in order to build and reconstruct a green and eco world by reducing the impact of environmental issue do to the world especially global warming that getting serious time by time.

What is green building?
Green building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. Green building is also known as a sustainable or high performance building.

How does it contribute to the benefits?:

1)Reduces Costs and Increase Value

These buildings lower construction costs and higher property value for building developers; global energy efficiency measures could save an estimated RM280 to RM410 billion in savings on energy spending. Green buildings, whether new or renovated – command a 7 percent increase in asset value over traditional buildings

2)Creates a Market For Green Product and Services

Different countries and regions have a variety of characteristics such as distinctive climatic conditions, unique cultures and traditions, diverse building types and ages, or wide-ranging environmental, economic and social priorities, all of these shapes up the green building and make green buildings best suited to their own markets.
