Ethics & Technology Program
Committee
The
Ethics and Technology Program Committee (a.k.a. the
E&T Committee) produces and delivers content on
technical subjects related to engineering ethics
and ethical practices used in making technological
and design decisions that influence and affect
society. E&T Committee members consider ethical
issues related to the interplay of engineering
technology and society while serving as an integral
part of the T&S Division matrix organization.
Content produced by the committee includes
technical information exchange, documents,
recognition, outreach and other activities related
to ethical issues in the engineering profession.
The committee strives to foster communication among
mechanical engineers, technical professionals,
engineering students, and the general public to
disseminate technical content to a global audience
for increased awareness and understanding. The
Committee will work in collaboration with related
organizations (internal and external to ASME) in
order to accomplish its mission.

Topics in Engineering Ethics and
Technology
On-line Book Reviews/Seminars
The Technology and Society Division
invites you to participate in on-line book
reviews with prominent authors discussing their
work. Real world examples of issues related to
engineering ethics and society cover a wide
range of industries, as well as background
information and views from experts in the
field.
The authors provide valuable
interpretive coments on their work and related
research, revealing the lessons to be learned.
The book reviews discuss common threads and
conclusions from the author's investigations and
provides an excellent reference for further
study.
ASME members who need professional
development hours (PDH's) to maintain a P.E.
license or other professional certification
should check the rules of their appropriate
professional body to see if participation in an
on-line seminar will qualify for PDH's. ASME
student members and the general public are also
welcomed and encouraged to participate in the
discussions.
