29. DC – 10 JUMBO JET The fuselage of the DC – 10 Jumbo jet of which the cargo door is a part was developed by Convair, a sub contractor for McDonnell Douglas. Convair’s senior engineer directing the project, Dan Applegate had written to the Vice president of the company: “The Cargo door could burst open, leading to crash of the plane. Hence the door has to be redesigned and the cabin floor has to strengthened”.

30. DC – 10 JUMBO JET Top Management at Convair neither disputed the technical facts or the predictions made by Applegate. The liabilities and the cost of redesign were to high. Two years went by. In 1974 the cargo door of DC – 10 Jumbo burst open and the jet crashed near Paris killing 346 .

31. ENGINEERING ETHICS  The study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations engaged in engineering.  The study of related questions about moral ideals, character, policies and relationship of people and corporations involved in technological activity.

32. ENGINEERING ETHICS Engineering ethics course is not about preaching virtue rather, its objective is to increase your ability as engineers to responsibly confront moral issues raised by technological activity.
