[The role of an engineer]Introduction…In this project, I would like to explain that our society and community want an engineer to strictly follow the rule and law.

Before any law is passed by a legislative body or proposed by the government, our society requires professionals and engineers to act fairly and justly. For this reason, they must be respectful of humans and not neglect their duty. As an engineer, work ethics should be a common code of conduct. This brings our society to an ethical culture and this mode makes us easily choose the right things to do..
