AB  -                               Canons against Cannons?                Social Justice and the Engineering Ethics ImaginaryWhat if social justice were a core value for engineers? Is it possible, or desirable, to canonizesocial justice in a professional code? In this thought experiment, I borrow directly and largelyverbatim from the ethics code of the National Association of Social Workers, for whom socialjustice is a core value, as well as incorporating prior work of scholars in the Engineering, SocialJustice, and Peace community (esjp.org) to generate and explore new values, principles, andstandards that reflect potential social justice aspirations for engineers. The following fiveprinciples will be explored (the first four from NASW and the last from Catalano):       •   Engineers’ primary goal is to help people in need and to address social problems       •   Engineers challenge social injustice       •   Engineers respect the dignity and worth of each person       •   Engineers recognize the central importance of human relationships       •   Engineers seek to live in peace with their individual selves, others, and the planetThe proposed canons will include articulation of values, statements of principles, and elaborationof standards. Examples to be considered for the final paper include the following (again testinghow closely NASW language can fit engineers):       •   Engineers shall volunteer some portion of their professional skills with no expectation           of significant financial return (pro bono service). This pro bono service shall           constitute at least 5% of their employed hours in engineering positions.       •   Engineers shall demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive           to dynamics of difference, power, and privilege among people and cultural groups.       •   Engineers may engage in organized social and political action, including the           formation of and participation in labor unions, to improve services to clients and           society, and to improve their own working conditions.       •   Engineers shall promote the general welfare of society, from local to global levels,           and the development of people, their communities, and their environments on their           own terms. Following the lead of communities, engineers shall advocate for and work           to bring about living conditions conducive to the fulfillment of basic human needs           and shall promote social, socio-technical, economic, political, and cultural values and           institutions that are compatible with the realization of social justice.       •   Engineers shall facilitate informed participation by the public in sociotechnical           projects, policies, and institutions, with special regard for vulnerable, disadvantaged,           oppressed, and exploited people and groups.       •   Engineers shall not participate in nor remain complicit with projects that privatize           public goods, and projects that further the military-industrial or prison-industrial           complexes in the United States and abroad.       •   Engineers shall act to resist hegemonic power and systems of oppression, including           but not limited to ableism, ageism, classism, gender normativity, heteronormativity,           nationalism, racism, and sexism, and work to prevent and eliminate domination of,           exploitation of, and discrimination against any person, group, or class.
