Under which Code of Professional Ethics should an Aeronautical Engineer exercise restraint in public criticism of another Engineer's work?

An Aeronautical Engineer should exercise restraint in public criticism of another Engineer's work under The Engineers Code of Professional Ethics. This code emphasizes the importance of professional conduct, integrity, and respect within the engineering community. By adhering to this code, engineers foster a collaborative environment and uphold the dignity of the profession. It encourages professionals to provide constructive feedback rather than engaging in public criticism that may harm reputations or undermine trust in the engineering community.

This approach promotes accountability and supports the ideal that engineers should work together to enhance the profession. It also recognizes the impact that public statements can have not only on individuals but on the profession as a whole, requiring engineers to act with professionalism and consideration for the perceptions of their colleagues and the public. Such conduct reflects the core values of respect and professionalism that are fundamental to the practice of engineering.

The other codes—The State, The Law, and The People—do not specifically address the behavior expected of engineers concerning their professional interactions with one another in a manner that encourages restraint and professionalism in criticism.
