导航工程实践和道德标准介绍了导航项目设计、运营和管理的工程标准和实践；它还展示了这些标准和实践如何与工程道德相结合。本手册旨在作为参考，以证明导航工程标准的道德开端。主要课程包括导航工程概论；工程伦理；设计理念和目标；设计条件和假设；项目特征标准；设计过程；可持续发展；美国陆军工程兵团负责航道管理，美国海岸警卫队负责航道管理； NOAA对水道的贡献；确保设计安全和运行的工具；最后的结论。ASCE道德规范作为附录。本手册对任何从事导航工程的人都很有用，包括美国陆军工程公司、私营部门工程师和工程专业学生。

Navigation Engineering Practice and Ethical Standards presents engineering criteria and practices for the design, operation, and management of navigation projects; it also shows how these criteria and practices are integrated with engineering ethics. This manual is meant to be used as a reference to demonstrate the ethical beginnings of navigation engineering criteria. Main topics include an introduction to navigation engineering; engineering ethics; design philosophy and goals; design conditions and assumptions; project features criteria; the design process; sustainable development; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers management of waterways, U.S. Coast Guard contributions to waterways; NOAA contributions to waterways; tools to ensure design safety and operation; and final conclusions. The ASCE Code of Ethics is included as an appendix. This manual will be useful to anyone involved in navigation engineering, including the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, private sector engineers, and engineering students.
