- Recommendations to all engineering consultants and scientists:-
- Professional engineers must work
in partnership with and/or
under the supervision of scientists specializing in the specific
disciplines; for example, in scientists authentic limnology when the
issues are freshwater related, an aspect generally ignored until it is
too late; Follow the superb Canons of Ethics for Engineers
- It is incumbent upon all professionals in not encroaching on
scientific specialties that they are not proficient in unless they can
prove it through credible citations and/or via
published papers in reputed journals
- Exceptions are students where they are in a `learning mode'
- An example, Dalhousie University's web site on Academic Integrity (these tenets should also apply to the academia)
- Graceful admissions by the Nova Scotia Dept. of the Environment (NSE), and Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM)
- So whom do we trust-
an extensive scientific survey conducted by specialists, shore-to-shore
of Canada, for the internationally renown Reader's Digest
- Leading journals to examine how they review articles
- Biases and conflicts of interest among peer reviewers
- Professional bodies racist, Crown corporation asserts
- Universities under the gun
- "Court upholds inkless deal"- A promise is a promise
Recommendation to all engineering consultants: Follow your superb Canons of Ethics

Mulrooney MEng PEng, Director of Professional Practice, for supplying
