Report on Engineering Ethics

Introduction:

This is about engineering ethics as here we discuss the tragedy that is happened in the Kansas water park. The Kansas owner hired a boy in 2016 which has no technical skills or else engineering skills according to the new lawsuit. Verruckt is designed by that boy with lacked the expertise to properly design, the water slide that killed Caleb Schwab on August 7, 2016. Now we want to learn that whether it's only the fault of that engineer or there is something behind that incident.

Engineering Ethics:

In the United States, there is the following rule and regulation implemented on making the giant water slide. On design, manufacture, testing, operation, maintenance, inspection, assurance of quality as well as many more the committee establishes the standards. To state as well as local governmental codes, the requirement, as well as safety inspection amusements parks, are subjected. By insurance companies must pass harsh inspection. In specific states, if regulations necessity to be improved, such action encourages by the IAAPA as well as the basis of any regulations recommend expending the specific International ride safety standards ASTM. As we discussed the Kansas new regulations. The new law imposed after the death of lawmaker's son, on the Verruckt water slide in Kansas City. It executes further inspection as well as the requirement of licenses on amusement rides. It also considers that those who operate a trip without the permit consider him a criminal drawback.

The engineers play the leading role. As they must design the proper waterslide as well as they have to test the rides properly. But as a study about the whole case, although engineers are responsible for the loss of this innocent soul, an owner is to be blamed more than the engineer for hiring non-expertise for such critical project like a Verruckt water slide. Yes, one who listens to this incident surely he surprised that how owner did this kind of blunder.

For the security of Verruckt, there are the following safety rules. Local government does not require by the Kansas law for the safety of rider to evaluate the amusement park, if they wish they allow them too, with the state law it doesn't conflict. The incident gives the reason to governments to impose regulation for the safety of amusement visitor of parks in the future, particularly that no federal rules administrate that industry gave the fact. For the public, Kansas presently severely contains its mistake as an overseer. To hire certified inspectors, this is the very major thing that constructs the field report with the operators.

The all key players are discussed here. The co-owner of the Schlitterbahn waterparks & Resorts was the co-owner. Jeff Henry gave the idea of Verruckt ride the major problem is that he doesn't focus on the design. The designer of the Verruckt is John Schooley. He was not capable enough of designing that project. Instead of using the mathematical & physics he handled the trial as well as error techniques. The consultant of the Verruckt was John Hunsucker. In the activity law of enforcement, operation director of the water part was Tyler Austin Miles (CBS, 2017).

As the Jeff Henry is the co-owner as well as a maker of the Verruckt he didn't follow the procedure for safety it means that he breaks the first rule for the protection of people. The second rule is to cut by the Henry that he shows lack of expertise that allows engineers according to their competence to provide services. From NSPE john Schooley also break the fundamental rule as he didn’t follow the design procedure accurately. In the investigation procedure Tyler Austin Miles interfere which means that it violates the code to avoid from deceptive acts which ask engineers. From NSPE John Hunsucker should provide the consultancy accurately but it seems like he also didn’t follow the basic rules.

As the other U.S. states impose the rule and regulation, the Kansas state administration is also responsible for this incident as they did not impose any control. After the death of the 10-year-old baby the administration authority thinks about the more laws. The accident might do not happen if they already imposed the rules for the amusement parks (KORANDA, 2017).

The primary lesson that has been learned through this incident is that by qualified engineers the ride should be constructed. And this is the duty of engineer to follow all the engineering ethics for the welfare of the people as well as their safety. Rides within the parks could be adequately inspected as the administration implemented the regulations. Because of this is incident it shows that by a qualified engineers inspection should be done.

In the future, such type of incident could be controlled by giving the proper training to the engineers as well as also the implementation of the regulation is very important (Willets, 2018).

Conclusion:

As concluded the whole report, that the implementation of the regulation is critical. A more dangerous incident could happen in the future if the administration of the amusement park didn’t take any further notice about the safety as well as welfare of the people. Make sure that you hired the qualified engineers as well as who well-known about the engineering ethics.
