Virtues in Engineering William F. May said of the expert: “He had better be virtuous. Few may be in a position to discredit him. The knowledge explosion is also an ignorance explosion; if knowledge is power‚ then ignorance is powerlessness” (Harris 30). In the context of engineering‚ this places engineers in a very special position. Because of this power‚ which few may ever possess‚ it becomes necessary for engineers to be virtuous or posses certain attributes for the welfare of the public
