Directions: Using your notes from the video $$Mega Disasters $$ Hyatt Regency Skywalk Collapse$$ to

discuss this case with your group and answer the questions below:

$1.$ Identify five $(5)$ key actors involved in creating the skywalk and describe their roles and

responsibilities in this project.

$2.$ What are four $(4)$ relevant external goods that the skywalk was intended to generate? Among these

include at least two components of capabilities discussed in EEOC Ch$.2.$

$3.$ Who were the key actors in reviewing the collapse of the skywalk? Describe their respective roles

and responsibilities in discovering what led to the skywalk$$s failure.

$4.$ Analyze the Hyatt Regency Skywalk Collapse in terms of the three types of explanations for

engineering disasters:

a$.$ Engineering failures

b$.$ Management failures

c$.$ Ethical failures

i$.$ Virtue Ethics $($apply one general virtue and all four $[4]$ Engineering virtues discussed

in EEOC Ch$.2)$

ii$.$ Kantian Ethics $($use either the $1$st or $2$nd formulation of the Categorical Imperative$)$

iii. Utilitarianism $($use Bentham$$s version of the theory$)$

$5.$ What do you think are the key reasons behind the ethical misconduct$($s$)$ that you identified in

Question $4?$

$6.$ Who would you say bears the most ethical responsibility in this case? Explain your answer.

$7.$ In your $($collective$)$ opinion, what was the most striking$/$disturbing$/$interesting aspect of this

case$/$video$?$

$8.$ What overall lessons can you draw from this case that would apply to ethical engineering practice

more generally?
