Engineering Ethics: Challenges for Innovation and Society

Engineering Ethics: Challenges for Innovation and Society

Presented by Sujata K. Bhatia

Wednesday, April 26, 2023, 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm EST

How do engineering innovations change the nature of humanity and life on earth?  How can engineers prepare themselves ethically to confront technological issues as diverse as gene editing, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, solar energy, carbon sequestration, clean water, and nuclear terror?  Engineers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and designers have the skills to bring their visions to fruition.  The engineer is both arrowsmith and archer, shaping the future direction of society. As engineers, we cannot confuse technical advancement with ethical progress. The key question for the engineer is: What kind of society am I creating?

Sujata K. Bhatia is trained as a physician, bioengineer, and professionally licensed chemical engineer.  She is a Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and Director of Biomedicine Graduate Programs at the Drexel University College of Medicine.  She is also an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems at Drexel University, and she serves as a lecturer in biotechnology and engineering sciences for both Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University.

This meeting is free and open to all, not just to Virtual Local Section members.
