Their discussion of the different grounds for, and ways of framing, moral problems likely to be encountered  in engineering covers all the bases; their illustrative cases, drawn in the main from contemporary practice, are treated circumspectly and will no doubt provoke the kind of open discussion of engineering decision-making they intend. It is the best treatment of this subject geared toward the undergraduate I have encountered.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Louis L.
