Continuing and Emerging Issues Interest in engineering ethics grew rapidly in the last half of the 20th century as the scope and magnitude of the social implications of technology and the professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers became more apparent. Over the past two decades, engineering ethics developed into an established interdisciplinary academic field, including healthy debates over theory and methods. As IEEE Technology and Society Magazine concludes its twentieth year of publication, it is appropriate to take stock of developments in engineering ethics over the past two decades and consider emerging ethical issues at the beginning of the 21st century. All contributions will be peer reviewed. Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2000.
Electronic submissions are preferred.
