Use library resources to locate an article from a scholarly journal or scholarly article from

reputable online source that discusses an (engineering failure) and the ethical issues

surrounding it. For example, Challenger or Columbia disasters, The BP oil spill, Kansas

City Hyatt walkway, I-35 bridge collapse, Tacoma Bridge, Z Corp and toxic waste dispo-

sal, Citicorp center in New York, Building Green: The Audubon Building, Toxic Waste

Facilities: New South Wales (Australia) and Ward Valley (California), Saving Venice From

Flooding: Civil Engineers vs. Ecologists. These are some suggested topics. However,

there are many good articles out there.

Read the article and prepare one page response paper. Your response should be an

example of expository writing that reflects your opinion of the article you read or the

topic it discussed. It should also be thoughtful, coherent, and well organized. In addition,

please submit the hard copy of the article you selected.

Some ideas for framing your response include: (a) Find one or two points in the article

you found interesting and discuss; (b) Pick an argument that you disagreed with and state

why; or (c) Discuss how the situation(s) described in the article might affect you in your

career.
