Answer the following questions:
1. Based on the resources in module 6, explain why this case presents an ethical dilemma. Who/What is the ethical dilemma for William LeMessurie?
2. Who is Diane Hartley, and what is her role in this case? Be specific. And why do you think her findings were not immediately addressed?
3. As a responsible engineer, what actions can William LeMessurier and his staff take in response to Diane Hartley’s concern about the increased design stresses due to quartering winds?

5. In this case, who bears responsibility overall? Answer from different perspectives and explain the reasons for your answers.
6. When solving an Ethical situation, what are steps to take to address it? (From lecture materials)
The paper must be well-written and concise. It should also be well-organized and free of spelling errors and mistakes. Limit the paper to two (2) pages. (-5% if exceeded);
Separate page for a cover and/or citations arenot needed. You should have room within the two pages to identify yourself and add citations at the bottom of the page.
Students are required to use headings/subheadings with bullet points as needed and proper formatting to make it easier for the reader to follow the line of thought. Use citations if quoting someone or sources. The grading of the paper will be based on its technical content, writing style, and organization.
The paper will be processed through Turnitin and AI tools to verify the authenticity and originality of the work submitted as the students own. Do not copy from another student’s paper or use the internet to find a previous paper. Turnitin will identify it and flag it. You will receive a zero (0) grade and face disciplinary action. (Not a wise move, as this is an assignment on Ethics!)
