Participant Role
C102
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A participant role of an institution that provides financing, such as a loan, for an engineering project without performing professional engineering work on it. In this case the World Bank partially finances the hydroelectric project.
Inherited from ParticipantRole · note
A role borne by a party with standing in a case (a client, owner, employer, contractor, or affected member of the public) whose role type does not itself generate profession-based obligations and is not governed by a professional ethical code. Duties a participant holds from contract or law are case facts on the individual, not commitments of the role type. Examples include Client, Owner, Contractor, and Public.

Employment Transition State
C102
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A temporal condition in which professionals move from public employment to a private engagement, here the phase in which the group of engineers resigned their positions with the U.S. Agency at or about the time negotiations with the foreign government were concluded and shortly thereafter entered into contract with that government.
Inherited from EmploymentTransitionState · note
A temporal condition in which a professional has announced departure from one position and accepted a new position, so the professional is in a transition phase between announcing the move and fully leaving the prior role, during which duties owed in the prior role still hold while ties to the new employer already exist.

Conflict Of Interest State
C102
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A condition in which a professional holds competing interests or loyalties that cannot all be fully served, here government engineers still in the employ of the U.S. Agency responsible for the basic plans of a project negotiating with private engineering firms to take part in the design and supervision of that same project for private gain.
Inherited from ConflictOfInterestState · note
A condition in which an agent holds competing interests or loyalties, or competing role-derived duties, that cannot all be fully served and that bias or constrain the exercise of professional judgment. As a content kind it is the standing tension among interests, covering both conflict of interest and competing duties. Its deontic relevance is that it renders the affected obligations defeasible against one another and grounds the competesWith, prevailsOver, and defeasibleUnder edge family.

NOTE: The NSPE Board of Ethical Review considers ethical cases involving either real or hypothetical matters submitted to it from NSPE members, other engineers, public officials, and members of the public. The BER reviews each case in the context of the NSPE Code of Ethics and earlier BER opinions. The facts contained in each case do not necessarily represent all of the pertinent facts submitted to or reviewed by the BER and shall not be considered a direct evaluation of any real matter that may have been submitted.

Each opinion is intended as guidance to individual practicing engineers, students, and the public. In regard to the question of application of the NSPE Code of Ethics to engineering organizations (e.g., corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, government agencies, and university engineering departments), the specific business form or type should not negate nor detract from the conformance of individuals to the Code. The NSPE Code deals with professional services, which must be performed by real persons. Real persons in turn establish and implement policies within business structures.
