Ethics "Training" for PDH
Ethics "Training" for PDH
(OP)
My state has instituted a new policy that you must have 4 hours of "ethics" training every two years to retain your PE. They are really vauge about what "ethics training" is.
Anyone have any ideas where someone would get 4 hours of ethics training? At the ASME World Congress there was exactly 1 hour on ethics. The SPE ATCE had zero.

I think I may be licensed in your state...same rule. I "conquered" it by using an at home study course in ethics....found here:
PDH at home link
Fairly easy and provides enough hours. If you can't find it on there - repost here and I'll look up the exact course I took from them.

Either you're ethical or you're not. It can't be trained.

But lacking those, (which won't recur in the future) and noting that ethics has dwindled down to going to an Internet site and taking a self test (got the site references from my licensing board) I think that spending time in this forum should count. I guarantee I get better ethics information and training than I got from the 'canned' sites I was sent to.

Since the boards will assume we are ethical, that is all that is required in many states.

An actual case study would be instructive to others. My favorite is when I was working in plant engineering. Our top boss spread favors among the middle/top mgt. Home improvement jobs were written off by construction accounts in plant engineering. One manager clearly proclaimed he wanted no part of this; he could hire his own contractors. The word got around, and the top guy got his tit in a wringer. He was on the street, and the plant got a top to bottom critical review by HQ.
I brought this up at another job, and one guy said that when he worked at a power plant, the plant mgr really took advantage. He had a metal building delivered to his home and installed by plant personnel. CAN YOU TOP THIS?
