Case Study $1$:

A working level engineer came up with a very creative approach to improve the UL required High Potential

Leakage Tests. He proposed modifying a very complex piece of computer based test equipment to aid final line

personnel in discovering causes for failure when the final assembly was tested on a standard High Potential

Tester. He convinced his unit manager of the value of his proposal. His manager then convinced his area manager

of the high probability of success. Unit had about $15$ engineers, the area had $60$ engineers and technicians.

However, they could not convince the production plant that funded this test equipment to fund this proposal.

Funding involved about one man year of programming, about $$10,000$ of test equipment, and about four man

months of technician time to assembly, debug and try the test equipment.

Should the proposal be dropped or should resources be "stolen" from other funded programs?

Using the below five$-$step analysis technique of resolving Ethical $/$ Moral Dilemma in this case from the

concept of IEEE Code of Ethics $($i$.$e$.$ that how they should act Ethically and handle the situation with some

proposed solutions and finally which solution they adopt$).$ You have to explain clearly the five steps with

the necessary description. Write about the Moral Clarity and Justification of your final choice of option to

solve the case from the Perspective of the IEEE Code of Ethics.
