I'm appalled at the lack of ethics in civil and mechanical engineering!

Automotive engineers willfully destroyed opportunity for stablehands, whip manufacturers, and train conductors out of hundreds of other occupations annihilated.

Civil engineers with their oriented strand board trusses, reinforced concrete, and dimensional lumber stole the livelihoods of masons, carpenters, foresters and so many more.

Engineers have centuries of unethical practice to atone for. They need to stop their work because everything that they do is harmful and unethical!
