Writing Homework Help

Rules or codes of professional ethics serve as a guide to professional conduct. In this assignment
you will analyze and apply either the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and
Surveying (NCEES) (Civil Engineers) or the Construction Management Association of America
(CMAA) (Construction Managers) codes. You will be graded on the depth of your analysis and
reasoning, how you support your conclusions, and the professional appearance of your essays.
The ethical rules/code and case studies are on Canvas in the “Ethics” module.

1. Read the applicable NCEES Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Civil Engineers) or
CMAA Code of Ethics (Construction Managers). Write a short essay (200 words)
summarizing the rules or code in your own words. Your essay should include an introduction,
a paragraph for each of the major professional obligations, and a conclusion.

2. Read your assigned case study. Write a 500 word essay briefly summaring the case study and
applying the NCEES Model Rules (Civil Engineers) or CMAA Code of Ethics (Construction
Managers) to your case study. Analyze the professional decisions in the case study and state
your opinion as to how the individual in the case should behave; what errors of ethical
judgment were made and how the issues should they be resolved or prevented. Four digit case
studies refer to the National Institute of Engineering Ethics (NIEE) case studies. One or two
digit case studies refer to the American Institute of Constructors (AIC) case studies. The NIEE
case studies are each in a separate file. The AIC case studies are all in one file. Sometimes the
files do not display correctly in Canvas. You may have to download the file and open it on
your computer.
