In light of the Code of Ethics of Engineers Australia, and that of ONE other professional body, you have to indicate in your report the particular clause(s) of the Codes of Ethics that were possibly breached, and justify your claims. Also, provide suggestions as to how a repeat of this type of incident could be avoided.

  3. All references must be fully provided, and formatted as per IEEE style.
