ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIST IN SOCIETY

CHAPTER 5 Research and Intellectual Properties

Learning outcomes

• Explain the scope of engineering technology ethics in research and intellectual properties
• Define the function of engineering technologist in research activity

Research

• Challenges in Research : Examples of problems that arise as an engineering technologist if associated with issues such as irresponsibility, lack of experience and skills, lack of technical knowledge, lack of focus and lack of interest in the task given.
• Concept Design is about forming, modeling, shaping a new idea, approach, abstraction of an implementation. Examples of concepts in this context are : eHealth, customer self-service, 360 client view, robotics and 3 d printing
• Preliminary analyses on any data set include checking the reliability of measures, evaluating the effectiveness of any manipulations, examining the distributions of individual variables, and identifying outliers.
• Detailed analysis involves performing research and separating results into smaller, logical topics to form reasonable conclusions. It presents a specific argument about the topic and supports that argument with evidence. You can perform an analysis to find different solutions to a challenge in a variety of situations.

Honesty, integrity and reliability

• Honesty : Honesty is the quality of being

truthful and fair, and it involves not lying,

• Dishonesty can be driven by other defects of character or emotion, such as pride, jealousy, envy, greed, sloth, lust, anger, fear, guilt, and shame

ISSUE 2: Trimming

• Trimming / alteration
• Preliminary analyses on any data set include checking the reliability of measures, evaluating the effectiveness of any manipulations, examining the distributions of individual variables, and identifying outliers.
• Detailed analysis involves performing research and separating results into smaller, logical topics to form reasonable conclusions. It presents a specific argument about the topic and supports that argument with evidence. You can perform an analysis to find different solutions to a challenge in a variety of situations.

• Some examples of IP include:
• Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, Trade secrets, Industrial designs, Layout designs of integrated circuits, and Geographical indications.
• IP rights give creators exclusive rights to their work, allowing them to profit from their creative efforts.
• Legal protections for IP vary by type, and some last forever while others expire after a certain amount of time.
• In Malaysia, the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) is responsible for managing and developing the IP system. MyIPO administers and enforces IP legislation, including the Trademarks Act 2019, the Patents Act 1983, and the Copyright Act 1987.
