Chapter 1 in full: Ethics
27% of the exam, about 8 questions. These are its key points, as in the guide.
- Indicators CMP-T1-1 to CMP-T1-18 are the basis of this area, starting with upholding the SCE code of ethics.
- The exam manual suggests studying the SCE code of ethics and other codes such as the NSPE code.
- Order of loyalty in a conflict: public health and safety first, then the profession, then the employer and client.
The rest of chapter 1, on this page
- Protect the innocent and respect the public's right to consent to what affects them (CMP-T1-8).
- Respect all people and avoid any form of discrimination or bias (CMP-T1-6).
- Do not harm other people's reputation or employment through malicious actions (CMP-T1-14).
- Preserve the reputation of the profession and the engineer's right to act ethically (CMP-T1-4).
- Due diligence means checking assumptions and data before relying on them, and following best practice (CMP-T1-11).
- Moral responsibility includes self-management and balancing the wider public interest with employer and client interests (CMP-T1-12).
- Analysing a complex ethics case starts with the facts, then the parties and duties, then the most ethical course of action (CMP-T1-13).
- Supporting, encouraging and rewarding ethics awareness, training and the profession's societal impact is part of the engineer's role (CMP-T1-16, CMP-T1-17).
- Internal reporting channels protect the reporter from reprisal and allow early action (CMP-T1-18).
Common mistakes in this chapter
- "The client is paying" never justifies hiding a public safety risk; an option that puts the client's wishes above safety is wrong.
- Noting a problem in a report while work continues is not enough when the hazard is real; look for the option that prevents harm.
- Disclosing a conflict of interest does not automatically mean withdrawing; disclose first and let the affected party decide.
- Going straight to the media or an outside body is rarely the first step; start with internal channels unless the danger is imminent or they have been ignored.
- Extreme options such as "ignore it completely" or "dismiss the colleague at once" are rarely best; the answer is usually stepwise and proportionate.
- A small gift or hospitality may look harmless, but if it is tied to an evaluation or award decision it is a conflict of interest to refuse or disclose.
