2-State the code of fundamental canons of ethics, rules of practice and professional obligation.

3-write a brief conclusion for each case

CASE 1

Engineer A is a recently hired software engineer recruited from college by HyTechCo, a global software company. As part of his first assignment, Engineer A’s supervisor, Engineer B, requests that he write software to provide security for e-mailed documents within HyTechCo. After completing the project, Engineer A learns on an IT industry news Web site about an individual with another company who had made similar software available to overseas clients and was being investigated by the government because of U.S. laws that require that such software not be sent overseas because of national security concerns. Engineer A learns that the software he developed for HyTechCo has been sent overseas by HyTechCo’s IT department for use by HyTechCo’s offices abroad. Engineer A informs Engineer B who tells Engineer A, without the benefit of consulting with legal counsel, that since HyTechCo is a U.S.-based company, not a threat to U.S. national security, will be using the software solely for internal purposes, and will not be selling it, there is no problem. Engineer A agrees but later learns that one of HyTechCo’s overseas offices has been permitting contractors to use the software to exchange secured e-mail documents.

What are the ethical responsibilities under the circumstances of Engineer A and Engineer B?
