Conference Program Link v7

THEME:  We have chosen Ethics in Engineering, Science and Technology (ETHICS 2017), in recognition of the difficulty in a modern world of fulfilling multiple and sometimes conflicting moral obligations to different parties. The emergence of engineering as a distinct profession has been accompanied by a need to clarify the relationship between the self-interest that engineering practitioners have in advancing their careers and business interests, and their moral obligations to society, to their employers and/or clients, and to their profession. As global, social, environmental and business pressures have evolved over the past 150 years, ethical dilemmas have intensified. It has become necessary for all of us to reflect carefully as we traverse an evolving and increasingly challenging ethical landscape.

PROGRAM:  ETHICS 2017 provides an exciting opportunity to consider issues concerning modern engineering ethics and ethical standards, and their impact on our lives, careers, profession and society. Our keynote and invited speakers, panel forum, and dinner reception will facilitate exchange of experience and perspectives on many levels.

SPEAKERS:  ETHICS 2017 will host an impressive range of topics and invited speakers, including:

• Dinner Keynote: Prioritizing ethical considerations at the front-end of design – John C. Havens, Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.
