9413323 Smith This project will plan, organize, and conduct research to address the requirements of the North American Free Trade Agreement as that Agreement relates to the practice of engineering in the US, Mexico, and Canada. The focus of the project is on the Development of Professional Standards for Professional Services set forth in Annex 1210.5 of Chapter 12 of the Agreement, involving professional conduct and ethics. Its goal is to develop recommendations on muturally acceptable standards and criteria on professional conduct and ethics for consideration by the NAFTA Forum on Engineering Practice and other appropriate groups within the three nations. The recommendations will include fundamental understandings of the responsibilities of engineers to clients, governments and public. This effort involves a team of six, two from each nation, advised by four consultants with expertise in global ethics. The project involves several meetings and interim research between May and August 1994, in order to identify major issues on ethics and professional conduct, draft ideas on how they should be addressed, develop a preliminary report to the NAFTA Forum on Engineering Practice meeting in June, and a final list and preliminary outline of recommendations for the next NAFTA meeting which is likely to occur in the Fall in Canada. After this, a final report will be prepared and distributed appropriately. Addressing these issues of professional conduct and ethics is critical to the implementation of a viable Agreement that will be beneficial to all three nations in our future involvements in professional engineering practice. ***

9413323史密斯这个项目将计划、组织和进行研究，以满足北美自由贸易协定的要求，因为该协定涉及美国、墨西哥和加拿大的工程实践。该项目的重点是制定《协定》第12章附件1210.5规定的专业服务专业标准，涉及专业行为和道德。其目标是就相互可接受的职业行为和道德标准提出建议，供北美自由贸易协定工程实践论坛和三国内其他适当团体审议。这些建议将包括从根本上理解工程师对客户、政府和公众的责任。这一努力涉及一个六人团队，每个国家两人，由四名具有全球伦理专业知识的顾问担任顾问。该项目在1994年5月至8月期间举行了几次会议并进行了中期研究，以便查明有关道德和专业行为的主要问题，就如何处理这些问题起草意见，为6月举行的北美自由贸易协定工程实践论坛会议编写一份初步报告，并为可能于秋季在加拿大举行的下一次北美自由贸易协定会议拟定最后清单和初步建议大纲。在此之后，将编写并适当分发最后报告。解决这些职业行为和道德问题对于执行一项可行的协议至关重要，该协议将在我们未来参与专业工程实践时对所有三个国家都有利。***
