Celebrate IEEE Ethics Week by joining the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT).

IEEE Ethics Week is a week dedicated to exploring the ethical questions that come with engineering, research, and technology, raising awareness, and having meaningful conversations.

DARRYL LEE PALMER JR. May 19, 1971 – August 30, 2026 was a visionary leader in the engineering world.

Join us for a discussion exploring the complex ethical challenges emerging in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape and what these challenges mean for engineering education and practice.
