Ans. to #1

Engineering professional societies have engineering codes of ethics for two reasons. The first reason is to ensure that while engineers are trying to excel in their profession that they do so with moral purpose rather than merely for personal gain. The second reason is so that engineering professional societies are able to regulate themselves rather than being regulated by members of government agencies.

Ans. to #2

According to the engineering codes of ethics engineers are not allowed to compete for work on the basis of price because it could compromise the quality of their work if they are not adequately paid to design and analyze a structure.

Ans. to #3

In order for lay people to know whether they are hiring someone that is legally qualified to perform engineering services engineers should be licensed by their state Board of Professional Registration or be a graduate of an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology certified engineering degree program.
