Summary
The crashes of two 737 MAX planes exposed flaws in Boeing's practices, including design flaws and lack of transparency. Little has been discussed about the ethical responsibilities of Boeing engineers and FAA officials involved. Lessons include the need for stronger engineer voices, greater involvement of engineering societies in ethics, and emphasizing moral
courage in engineering education.

Summary
Investigative reporter Peter Robison contends that Boeing's shift from prioritizing engineering quality to profit-driven strategies, such as cost-cutting and influencing regulators, contributed to the 737 tragedy. His book, "Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy And The Fall Of Boeing," explores these themes.

Summary
Engineering ethics debates often focus on the roles of engineers and management in decision-making. Engineers should raise safety and welfare concerns, while management deals with aspects like cost and marketing. It's crucial for engineers not to compromise
ethically or technically, and management shouldn't force them to do so.
