LAW AND CIVIL ENGINEERING

Today is said to know about the duties and rights as to the professional and personnel totake account of the engineer, but are committed to implement the worst mistakes that sometimes reaches the legal authorities, therefore it is important know the laws where we talk about professional conduct and the penalties that may be imposed. Moreover, because the civil engineer is dedicated to the development of infrastructure, transport and water works and plays well as the study activities, planning, design, calculation, programming, consulting, consulting, auditing, construction, maintenance and construction management all the infrastructure works to service the community, is very prone to error, either by lack of knowledge about their rights and dutiesor for not knowing about sansiones to which it is exposed. For that reason it is of great importance know the law 842 of 2003 and use it as they should and know what can happen in case of committing a misdemeanor or a felony This says that for able to legally enforce Engineering, you must be registered in the COPNIA (National Professional Engineering Council) which is the public body whose main function is to inspect and monitor the practice of engineering, its related professions and its ancillary professions in the country But besides the law 842 of 2003 In Colombia there are LAWS GOVERNING THE EXERCISE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING specifically, within which is the ACT 64 OF 1978:"By regulating the practice of engineering, architecture and teachers auxiliary ", Law No. 09 of 1989:" By establishing rules on municipal development plans ... ", the ACT 99 OF1993: Status of environment, ACT 80 OF 1993:" on issuing the general statute of civil service hiring, "the ACT 400 oF 1997:" By which standards are adopted on earthquake resistant buildings, "the ACT 435 oF 1998:" By which regulates the practice of the profession of architecture and its related professions " But there are other important legal information such as the 2500 ACT OF 1987: "By which partially regulates Law 64/78", 2090, 1989 DECREE: "By approving the regulation of fees for architectural work "the ACT 609 oF 1976:" By which set rates applicable to professional engineering consultancy services ", the Decree 033 of 1998:" By which establishes the requirements for technical and scientific support for earthquake resistant buildings "the 5923 RESOLUTION oF 1981: "By which adopts the Code of Ethics for engineers and

architects" and Resolution 747 of 1998: "By which set the ceilings for salaries and other expenses that can be pay consulting contracts ... ". these and these must be taken into account while contributes to the development of the country, Besides Colombian Society of Engineers summarizes its code of professional ethics in the ten basic principles: 1.Exercise both the profession and the activities that flow from it, with honor, dignity and integrity. 2. Never operate under the consideration that the exercise of the profession is not only a technical activity but also a social function. 3. Always act honorably and loyally towards individuals or entities to which it provides services. 4. Refrain from receiving bonuses or rewards other than salary or fees agreed. 5. Do not use unfair methods of competition with colleagues, such as lower current amount of fees or offer professional services at a lower price after knowing the competitor's proposal. 6. Do not try to supplant another engineer when it has definitive advance efforts to get a job or a particular position, or wish to be appointed to replace whoever is exercising a job honestly and competently. 7. Refrain from any action that could unfairly affect the professional reputation of a colleague. 8. In announcing its services, stick to only those that are guaranteed by the qualifications obtained or professional experience you possess. 9. No bids or promote contests in which the value of professional fees is one of the factors that determine the award of a consulting engineering service, or participate in them. 10. Have, in short, due respect and consideration for colleagues. For best live professional is necessary for all, no matter what exercise activity, is required to have a legal culture if they want to live in society is to say He practiced his profession engineer must study the legal concepts regulating the minimum relating to occupation and must develop their professional duties always invoking the laws in force, both labor and

commercial and general, so you should seek advice from lawyers when to sign a contract or when engaging in the implementation of major works. Due to the great need of learning that we must equip ourselves we need to know all these thical rules governing our profession much like those of many other professionals such as gifted knowledge of ethics and professionalism depends our future and our future not only as good professionals but as good Colombians are. We as a university about to be professionals must understand that our moral and ethical responsibility will be greater than the ordinary citizen by the provision of knowledge we have received. We must uphold our dignity and development as students and be careful with the decisions we make during this period of our lives. The university and professional needs to know that the complete fulfillment of the duties requires maximum commitment to the essential purposes of the profession. Such dedication is required for social justice. A professional must be a good specialist, understand the problems involved in their profession. You must surrender unreservedly to the work entrusted to it, because this will be responsible for all actions you take or not to the poor performance of their work. Is observed over time how for some unknown reason failed works that have been designed and built by professionals in the construction, even before being put into service, and have not reached their ultimate goal is to make available the ciencia and mankind the technology to meet their needs. The first reaction is found guilty and are severely punished, but what has been imported is that offenders are others. After examining the source of the problem. What went wrong? And it starts This is where expert analysis, pointing out failures. When a professional mistake, can result in the death of a human being. When a civil collapses, the result, almost certainly, is the death of hundreds of human beings. And all for wanting to go over all rules without anticipating what might happen, that's why our work permanently civil engineer has been faced, as well as other disciplines of knowledge, a series of contrasts of ethical. The civil engineer has to handle and master not only science and technology that have been delivered at a university, but also ensure the integrity and human development as

whole. This is where preponderance take ethical and moral values of a professional, differing from each other. The civil engineer must respect the existing legal framework. If we accept that one of the main objectives of civil engineering is, in short, to build what I have planned and designed. In this context, the regulation establishes civil liability for the property manager, and for the builder and the designer, by the errors incurred if these damages arise. Following this, the law provides legal actions translated into fines and penalties to enforce these responsibilities. While the civil engineer should be respectful of the legal system must not understand that their actions in the professional field should lead to mere compliance with legal norms, but also in respect of a number of ethical and moral standards should be understood as the logical form of act in a professional and who are ultimately those that prevent errors and negligence in the exercise of the profession. Seen from this perspective, the proper act of the engineer should not be understood as the necessary consequence of the rule of law and fear of punishment that it imposes on those responsible for errors that result in damage, but should focus on act with respect for the individual, society and environment.
