Course Description

The "Professional Ethics for Architects (2 hours)" course is a basic level course targeted towards all architect professionals. Specific case studies are used to illustrate key principles in real world situations. The principles of "reciprocity" in ethics and the learning objectives outlined below are targeted at professionals in the architect industry. In this course we explore a professional’s responsibilities as they relate to their clients, their peers, their employer, their employees, and their profession. We begin the course by examining the role of ethics in the everyday practice of their career. We explain why ethical behavior is not only a professional and legal imperative, but is also just plain good business. We then look at the AIA Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct and how it relates to everyday situations that present challenges to people in this

business.
