A profession is much more than a recognized occupation; it carries with it the idea of advanced learning a special way of fife, involving a corporate group of practitoners from which the. profession ts constituted. In the highest sense, a profession is an occupation which has the following sic distinguishing marks: (1) + A body of knowiedge and art, held as a common possession and to be extended through united offer. 2) An educational process, based on the body of knowledge and art, and in the ‘ordering of which the professional group has a recognized responsibly. (3) _ A standard of personal qualification for admission, based on character, education and proven competence. (4) A standard of conduct, based upon an ethical code to guide the practitioner in his relationships with his employer or client, his colleagues and the community (8) A formally recognized status, either by members of the profession or by the State. (©) Organizations of the profession, devoted to common advancement, social duty ‘and economic well-being, ‘A profession, then, comprises a group selected through an educational process and hhaving the authority that stems from the fact that the professional alana has the knowledge and skis that are needed by members of the public or by the public at large, ‘Much professional service is sich that only the professional can judge whether or not it ‘s well done. In most cases, the professional determines dotaled needs of the client or employer and how such needs should be met. Thus, there is the obligation of trust and of ethical practic. To ensure that the professional group fs competent ahd that only qualified persons can ‘aim membership, the community allows the professional group to determine the criteria {or entry to it. Ths i a privilege as well as an obligation but itis one of the most precious rights of a profession; the right of self-detormination. A profession becomes of real value to society when the members of the professional group associate with each other, learn from each other and are imbued withthe spirit of service, excellence and sof-expression. The organization of the profession, therefore, are the keystones of professional hfe Professionalism Professionalism is a way of thinking and fiving, rather than an accumulation of leatning, Professionalism cannot be aught by stating a code of ethios nor by memorizing a set of rules, ‘A strong professional sense is of undoubted benefit tothe profession concemmed in terms ‘of morale and vocational saistaction. Its also a fact thatthe community benefits when it is served by a professional whose standing is recognized, in terms of both status and rewards. Its through the development of a strong professional attitude thatthe professional man js motivated to give his biggest contribution to the community. itis probable that professional attitudes and professional motivation aro prerequisites to community ‘ecagnition and to a reasonable level of reward, but the one depends very much upon the other. ‘The Professional Man It folows from these considerations that the professional man must also bear some sistinctive marks. Again, in he highest sense, the marks of a professionat man are (1) Professional activity of a type carrying high individual responsibilty, requiring application of special sks to activities that are predominantly intellectual and varied rather than routine and normal (2) Motivation for service takes frst place over consideration of reward (8) Motivation for self expression implios joy and pride in the work to be done and self- imposed standards o' excellence in its performance: (4) Recognition of socia! duty, fulfiled through guarding the ideals and standards of the profession, by advancing it in public understanding and esteem, by sharing _advancos in professional knowlodgo, by rondoring gratuitous publi service, all as a relum to society for the advantages that flow from professional education and status, The Engincor as a Professional Man Engineering is predominantly an employee profession. The most importait way in which ‘engineering differs from most other professions is in the absence:of a. personal practtioner-client relationship. Engineers tend to practice their profession as members of teams, led and managed by senior engineers who are employees, even though they also assume the role of employers in many aspects of their réallonships with theit juniors. The professions of law, medicine and architecture, for example, differ to a large extent in {hase respects from enghveering. The senior barrister is the leader of the practice of his profession. It is he who appears atthe bar and givos dotaled personal guidance to his Juniors. The roles of the senior physician dnd surgeon are similar. The senior architects in a consulting office usually do the creative architectural work and leave the more ‘mundane tasks to junior professionals In cach of these professions, senior mon maintain an intimate involvement in the details of technical practice. It is not so in the main, with engineering. The more senior engineers tend to be ‘concemed with the leadership and management of large resources of men, materials and finance over which they have control. Conversely, it isthe juniors who are more, involved in the dotaled technical practice of the profession; and technical direction ‘comes from middle levels ofthe organizational structure, ‘Therefore, in general, in the engineering profession, the direct client practioner ‘characteristic is replaced by the characteristic of management, Management implies responsibiity and in en engineering management, the professional enginoer is responsiblo in a very direct sense for control over the resources of the community, It is this large element of management that adds a dimension to engineering that is absent from other professions and pothaps, in a sense diminishes them by comparison with engineering This is the nature of the profession and the end result fs that the criterion of success for ‘most engineers has less to do with the higt-lovel technical skills of the engineer than with his professional stils in engineering management. It is the ‘responsibilty level reached in employment as determined by his superiors that is the ctterion for high professional standing ratier than a recognition ofa highly developed technical expertise as judged by his peers Engineering therefore, is a unique profession in which’ all of the marks of the professional man have erucial importance; he must have high-level skils and he must dovelop different skls as his career advances; he must have a strong motivation for service because eventhng he does impinges on the community in some way or other. Motivations for sell-expression and high professional standards must exist from junior level upwards. Because the most senior men frequently are not in the position to give ‘rect technical leadership, heir functions usually difer very much from those of their juniors. Social duty must be seen as a personal obligations shared at all responsiblity levels. The whole community isthe ulimate clint rather than the individual cents ag it the case with other profession. Ethics and Professicinalism In the practice of enginearing, most engineers, no matter whother thoy are employees or private practiioners, or whether they are in public or private enterprise, find that in thoir professional lives thay encounter problems that are far removed from the technical and the impersonal Engineering is closely imolved in human relations and in business and commerce. A ‘great many of the special problems in personal conduct met by engineers are ikely to arse from this Fac. The scale of engineering projects and the all pervading influence of engineering systems, products and ullities on the ife ofthe community extends the influence of what engineers do into almost all spheres of human activity. This makes the engineer unique ‘among professional men, in these circumstances, tne personal atludes, rlationships and conduct ofthe engineor ‘have significance reachirg far beyond the reaim of purely personal morals. The Code of Ethics therefore, assumes particular importance in the profession of engineering in ‘providing guidance for conduct In all aspects of professional ite Ethics means something more than “law” and "morals"; it carries an addiional ‘connotation of “rightness”. The Code, therefore, is not a list of rules to govern every problem of conduct, nor is it a broad stalomont of ideals. It ig a statement of the Principles of “rightness” of broad scope and with enough detail to enable an intelligent ‘man to deduce for himset the course of his own professional conduct. ‘The essence of all professional codes is that the professional man must be worthy, through his conduct, of tr trust placed in him by the community and his colleagues. This gives rise to a universal rule of life for every engineer who aspires to true professional satus; to actin every situation in a manner that will add fo the confidence and esteem in ‘which his profession is held by the community tis also a mark of our profession that there are remarkably few caseS-of breach of cthics requiting disciplinary action against mombers, This is not an indication of laxity, rather, i results from the fact thatthe engineers wotk and relationships are so much Ia théopen that are purely moral sanctions prove to be sufficient and this is a matter of pride,
