In 2011, working for the Royal Academy of Engineering, IDEA produced a practical guide for engineers: Engineering Ethics in Practice.​

The guide used realistic, in-depth case studies to help engineers understand and apply the Royal Academy and Engineering Council’s Statement of Ethical Principles.​

“The IDEA CETL team has produced an extremely useful set of case studies which illustrate the pertinence to engineering of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Engineering Council's Statement of Ethical Principles. These cases show that the principles can help in guiding the choices and decisions of practicing engineers, and are useful exercises for the engineer to work through to test their ethical reasoning and their application of the principles. Professional engineers at all stages of their career have found them thought provoking and important, especially in the education and training of young engineers.”​
