Bhutan report

Engineering Ethics, kuenselonline: Bhutan's daily news site.

Unique aspects of the new ethics & conduct code in Bhutan:

The last two sections state the importance of preservation and protection of natural environment, and promotion of traditional values and culture. The clauses describe how cultural and architectural heritage should be incorporated in the designs and drawings and promote traditional arts and crafts through use of modern technology.

The institute's head of the civil engineering department, Karma Gayleg, said that while the other sections were drawn in line with the international code, the last two sections were added considering the 'unique identity' of Bhutan.
