Come to thi s IEEE PACE event to obtain 1 hour of P.E. credit and hear valuable advice on professional ethics!\n\nConflicts of interest are at the root of many ethical issues arising within the engineering profession and workplaces. P ersonal gain for yourself as an individual\, for someone you care about\, or for the business you work for can create situations and dilemmas where right versus wrong is not always clear as you take actions and make decisi ons.\n\n“I have integrity and respect others. I don’t cheat\, lie\, or steal. I learned this stuff as a small child.” Why ethics training? Eth ics training is not about teaching you to be a good person. It is about le arning the ethical standards that apply to you as a professional. You need to recognize when there could be a conflict of interest and know what act ions you can take. Not an easy task!\n\nThe good news is\, there is help! In this talk\, common types of conflicts of interest will be discussed wit h engineering examples\, including the profit motive\, friends and family\ , symbiotic relationships\, and quid pro quo. The participants will be pre sented with various techniques for avoiding conflicts of interest\, such a s transparency\, arm’s length rule\, and ways of removing themselves fro m the conflict. The session will include group exercises where the partici pants will be considering and recommending actions for various possible co nflicts of interest.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n- Learn the definition of Co nflict of Interest and its role in Business Ethics\n- Learn how to identif y Conflicts of Interest\n- Learn common techniques for avoiding Conflicts of Interest\n- Practice the techniques in hands-on exercises\n\nCo-sponsor ed by: Columbus PES Chapter\n\nSpeaker(s): Ray Waite\, \n\nAgenda: \n5:30 - 6:00 Light dinner and networking\n\n6:00 - 7:00 Presentation by Ray Wait e\, with time for Q&A and small-group activities\n\nRoom: 1A\, Bldg: AEP O hio\, 700 Morrison Road\, Gahanna\, Ohio\, United States\, 43230 LOCATION:Room: 1A\, Bldg: AEP Ohio\, 700 Morrison Road\, Gahanna\, Ohio\, U nited States\, 43230 ORGANIZER:jrmarker@gmail.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Professional Ethics – Identifying and Dealing with Conflicts of I nterest URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/170475 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="color: #ff0000\;"><em>Beginni ng in 2018\, Professional Engineers in Ohio must obtain 2 hours of ethics- related training during each renewal period.
