Technology and Engineering Education
Our global economy and rapid rate of technological advances presents pressing challenges for our times. With technology being embedded in nearly all aspects of our lives, engineers and applied scientists need to be cognizant of the impact that those technologies have, on the individuals that use them and the societies they live within. The UN's Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, and current standards adopted by the organizations such as IEEE and the ACM, impel us to be more mindful of the need for diversity, equity and inclusion. They also encourage us to be more mindful of the impact of technologies on societies and the environment.
