The Ford Pinto scandal is now part of the lore of American culture. Manufactured in 1971–1980, there were many documented cases of Pintos bursting into flames as a result of rear-end collisions.

The conventional wisdom is that Ford showed callous disregard for safety in its prioritization of profits over consumer safety and ethics. However, the case against the Pinto was not so clear-cut.

We will explain the fundamentals of corrosion, its potential causes, effects, and methods that can help mitigate it, such as proper coating techniques.

We will explain the importance of following product labels and listings and how to use this information to evaluate the risk of corrosion.

Have you ever wondered how Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are made? Does the manufacturing process of HSS affect the way we design with HSS?

We will also cover the manufacturing process for HSS and pipe. HSS is produced in a much different way than other steel products, such as wide flanges.

This webinar investigates the most common ethics violations prosecuted by engineering boards and explores ways to ensure you don’t end up in a board disciplinary hearing.

Through case studies, you can engage in real-life scenarios where engineers have faced ethical dilemmas. We will also explore conflicts of interest and their potential effects.
