Mike is an OACETT C. Tech. He works for a municipal government in their infrastructure department. He is responsible for designing and approving the sewage and water management systems in new residential developments. Mike is currently revising the design for the sewage and water management system for a development that is six months behind schedule due to a series of worker and materials shortages. The developer is also experiencing severe financial pressures, as a result of cost over runs caused by the shortages. As he is revising the sewage and water management system designs, Mike notices a flaw in the water catchment system built around a small lake that is a key selling feature of the residential development. The design flaw means that, while the relevant standards are still met, in severe rainfall events the catchment system will be very susceptible to flooding. The flooding may in turn make the area dangerous for the residents using the park and recreational area around the lake. Mike brings this design flaw to the attention of his manager. His manager then schedules a meeting with the developer to discuss the design flaw. The developer indicates that the design cannot be changed due to budget constraints and existing commitments to the present design. Mike’s manager then communicates this to Mike. He directs Mike to stamp the designs. What should Mike do in this situation?

What can Mike do to avoid a similar situation in the future?

A.

Quit his job rather than stamp work that he is not happy with

B.

Request to speak directly with the developer, rather than allowing discussions to go through his manager

C.

Indicate that he cannot stamp any design work that he feels is not adequate, regardless of whether it meets the required standards

D.

Do exactly the same thing and hope that there are no issues

Alex is an OACETT C.E.T. He works at an IT company that completes unique software programming for industrial and medical tools and equipment. There was sample hardware in the office that Alex did not think the company needed. He took the hardware home to see if he could adapt it for a project he was working on for his own interest. He did not intend to make money off of the project; he simply wanted to see if an idea he had was feasible. The next week the company owner asked all employees about the whereabouts of the sample hardware. The company owner indicated that the hardware needed to be returned to the manufacturer and that the company would get charged for it if it was not returned. Alex did not say anything to the company owner about having taken the sample hardware. By this time, he had already disassembled it and used different parts in his own project. He was not able to put the sample hardware back together.

Alex still did not tell the company owner about the hardware. The company owner, suspecting that Alex had the hardware, filed a complaint with the OACETT Complaints Committee. What is Alex’s best next move in this situation?
