Ethics in Manufacturing Processes (Phone manufacturing)

You are part of a company’s engineering group asked to design a new cellular phone that
is essentially disposable – that is, the expected useable life span is around 12-24 months.
Discuss the ethics to consider and a full LCA of the design, fabrication, operation and
disposal stages of the new phone.
What if any are the differences between designing one for the Canadian market and one
for a relatively undeveloped country?
In total, your report should not exceed three pages (references can be put on a fourth
page).
Your report should be fully referenced within the text, including any pictures or diagrams
used. Also make sure you include at the end of the report a list of all References used in
the text.
For a guide on how to use references in the text and compile a reference list, refer to the
separate Assignment Guidelines loaded up on D2L and/or an article in a refereed
engineering journal.
On-line encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, are not acceptable as a reference – you must
quote the original source (e.g., journal article, book, technical report, company website
etc.).
