Address aspects before and after with reference to how some of these issues contributed to the disaster. 1. Review the case with the context of the canons of engineering ethics. Comment on the aspects where the canons were not followed. 2. What was the role of dissent and/or whistleblowing in this case. What would be the alternative processes for the dissenting engineer to have made an impact on the outcome. 3. What was the role of conflicts of interest in this case.
