Engineering Ethics in Islam: An Evaluative and Comparative Study Between Cod of Ethics of Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB)and Code of Professional Conduct of Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)

During the past two centuries or so a number of buildings and bridges had been structurally failed and collapsed all over the world. Some of these incidents caused a sizeable number of human casualties. For instance, collapse of Tay Bridge in 1879 killed at least sixty persons. Beside the problems r...
