Remembering an Ethical Engineering Advocate
“Only when decent people band together to act in concert to install proper societal mechanisms and to support one another will we be able to reap the fruits of the marvelous new technologies and avert technologic catastrophes and environmental disasters. Engineers, in particular, need to think carefully about how they can act jointly to help one another to practice their profession properly.” —Unger [21, p. 72]

Lifetimes of Involvement With SSIT
This anniversary year provides a reason to reflect on the fact that many members have been involved with SSIT the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) throughout their full professional careers. This may span just a few eventful years, as is the case with our current student activities chair whose university and early professional experience has been dominated by pandemic conditions. Or it may span many eventful decades, as is…
Not a Valediction
The IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) has had many volunteers step into leadership positions for purposefully limited terms over the past half-century. We address the challenges and opportunities of our day and then move on, unlike some world leaders who cannot bear to fade away. Unlike them, we know we are dispensable and glad of it. It is the best way to refresh an organization
Preparing to Design Robots for Social Contexts
Educational programs in robotics have focused mostly on developing science, technology, engineering, and math skills, with recent extensions into the arts [1] . This focus has been entirely appropriate, until recently. Successful roboticists have been generalists with a specialty [2] whose careers involve both thinking and doing. Thinking (“investigative”) and doing (“realistic”) are personality traits that, when strongly correlated, predict succ…
Years of Good Trouble
During the 1960s, many engineers and scientists became concerned about the trajectory of the technological society they were helping to create [1] . Those years were full of headlines about nuclear war, environmental pollution, unsafe products, ethical lapses in industry and government, and unintended consequences of innovations. The social implications of technology became an organizational focus for IEEE on June 24, 1972, following a vote of th…
Fifty Years Hence
The IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year by revisiting its accomplishments and the people behind them. Look on the SSIT website for timelines with key milestones and a set of oral histories. Attend our conferences and chapter meetings to participate in sessions on anniversary topics. As we reflect on our rich past, this is also a perfect time to think about the future
Improving, Situating, Expanding
We are coming off one of the most difficult years in human memory, yet the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) managed to perform quite well in spite of the pandemic and its fallout. In 2020, our flagship ISTAS conference and the cosponsored conferences were huge successes, with record attendance, partly because going virtual allowed wider participation. Our new publication, IEEE Transactions in Technology and Society , was l…
If a Colleague Asks
We love to talk about the unintended consequences of others’ technological innovations. We document the air pollution and traffic congestion accompanying automobile dependence, the surrender of personal privacy in order to gain online convenience, and the political violence abetted by social media algorithms optimized to generate advertising revenue
How Universal Is Our Message
The Social Implications of technology are a global concern. Technological systems span all of the continents and connect nearly every human. The unintended consequences of human innovations are even more widespread, if you include space junk and radio noise. Associated ethical dilemmas are ubiquitous and are not confined to particular cultures or jurisdictions. We might expect that people all over the world would want to discuss technology and it…
Something in Common
A community is a group of people who share something in common, so what do we share in the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (IEEE SSIT)? We do not share a particular geographic location, native language, religion, culture, academic discipline, or profession. Perhaps, we better fit the dictionary’s secondary definition of community, by having a sense of fellowship because we share common goals. If so, what are those goals
An integrated model of real estate market responses to coastal flooding
Understanding and improving how humans adapt to climate change are priorities in our research community, and coastal settlements are good places to study adaptation. Severe storm events and sea‐level rise are threatening coastal communities with increasing levels of flood damage. Because ownership of coastal assets is distributed among many private and public actors, both individual property owners and public officials must take adaptive actions.…
Toward a research agenda on climate‐related migration
Climate change is one of the many stressors to which humans must adapt. Environmental concerns usually combine with other factors such as poverty, ethnic strife, or poor governance to become serious enough problems to warrant strong action. Migration away from affected areas is one time‐tested response. This article proposes a migration‐oriented research agenda for industrial ecology based on an examination of migration flows and ways of thinking…

What Is the Role of International Scholarship in JPER
Powers of Division
In this article we argue that “smart” work spaces are created through access to wireless networks and mobile cloud computing collaboration software. Yet the power relations embedded in these overlapping physical and cyberspaces function to control the spatial and temporal fragmentation of related work activities. Through a review of the literature, we first describe how scholars have considered the relationship between space, technology, and the …

Airborne Particulate Matter in Two Multi-Family Green Buildings
There are limited data on air quality parameters, including airborne particulate matter (PM) in residential green buildings, which are increasing in prevalence. Exposure to PM is associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, and since Americans spend almost 90% of their time indoors, residential exposures may substantially contribute to overall airborne PM exposure. Our objectives were to: (1) measure various PM fractions longitudinally …

Eco‐Evolutionary Pathways Toward Industrial Cities
Industrial location theory has not emphasized environmental concerns, and research on industrial symbiosis has not emphasized workforce housing concerns. This article brings jobs, housing, and environmental considerations together in an agent‐based model of industrial and household location. It shows that four classic outcomes emerge from the interplay of a relatively small number of explanatory factors: the isolated enterprise with commuters; th…
Diffusion Pathways for Electricity Deregulation
Quantitative studies of the diffusion of policy innovations generally avoid cases where the appropriate governmental actor is ambiguous; this study focuses on just that context. An event-history analysis of U.S. electricity sector regulatory reforms involving both regulators and legislators between 1993 and 1999 is presented here. The interplay of branches and planes of government significantly influences this diffusion process, suggesting that d…
Deliberating on Statewide Energy Targets
This article reflects on a process of analytic deliberation about the future energy economy of New Jersey. Scenario analysis looking forward thirty years identifies tradeoffs and synergies among environmental, economic, and security objectives identified by stakeholders. Modest, unilateral greenhouse gas reductions seem affordable and may improve energy security. More dramatic, long-term greenhouse gas reductions seem less feasible given current …
Environmental business strategy
Do firms willingly address social objectives, or must they be coerced? This article examines the particular relationship between environmental objectives and business strategy using a survey of corporate leaders' perceptions. Respondents from a set of companies listed in the U.S. Fortune 500 characterize their basic environmental strategy, the relevance of the natural environment to their management objectives, the drivers of their environmental …

Technical Expertise and Public Decisions
Giving expert advice
Many of you have expertise but get ignored by those in charge. I offer a little unsolicited advice to expert advisors. The archetypal expert is the wise confidante, the advisor who has the ear of an executive decision maker. This expert serves the decision maker and measures much of his or her personal success in terms of access to and influence over that executive

Restoring legitimacy to the systems approach
The systems approach is a mainstay of engineering theory and practice, but it has been misapplied in the public policy arena and it is now viewed skeptically. This article briefly analyzes the problems that have been encountered with certain prescriptive applications of system concepts in the field of public policy. It then suggests steps that could restore credibility and legitimacy to policy-related applications of the systems approach

Building a Micro Foundation for Industrial Ecology
Industrial ecologists study phenomena at several distinct scales, and linking the resulting insights could advance the field. The disciplines of ecology and economics have each attempted, with partial success, to accomplish this by building a behavioral micro foundation, and industrial ecology should do the same. These fields all study evolving systems made up of autonomous individuals who operate in a largely self‐interested manner, exhibit dive…

Security and the built environment
Safety sits at the top of our list of basic needs, alongside food and shelter. Humans everywhere ask the built environment to provide both shelter and safety. John Habraken, a revered architect and educator, has investigated the links between urban design and security, and his findings have provoked both admiration and controversy. This interview explores the nature and origins of Habraken's ideas; the implications they hold for the practice of a…
Energy security as a rationale for governmental action
In this article, a brief examination of the histories of oil and electricity confirms that unfettered markets do not ensure adequate energy security, that rationales for governmental interventions have evolved over time, and that economic and political interests have been inextricably interlinked throughout. The energy security lens also has significant implications in the current policy debate over the "hydrogen economy"
Time for a reality check - policy perspectives
National responses to energy vulnerability
Energy availability has again become an important and polarizing issue. Different countries have made distinctive choices affecting the importance of energy as a determinant of economic growth. Analysis of these varying choices helps put the current debate over oil imports in historical context, and illuminates the relative merits of supply-side and demand-side solutions. Some nations have achieved a more effective policy synthesis than others. T…
Practicing technological citizenship
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; hmm, those ring a bell. Those are rights that citizens of many countries enjoy. But citizenship also brings obligations such as being informed, engaged, and respectful of the general welfare. Meeting those obligations may have been easier two hundred years ago than it is today, given the pace and scope of changes in the way we live. Thus, my motivating question: does rampant innovation affect our right…

New Jersey Acts on Energy and Climate Change [Living with Technology]
An unusual aspect of this conference was its focus on state-level energy and climate policies. The lack of federal leadership on these issues within the U.S.A. has opened a window of opportunity at the state level for policy entrepreneurs. California acted in 2005 with an executive order establishing greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, ratified in 2006 by the state legislature. New Jersey acted in 2007, helped along by the fact-finding, ta…

Innovation as energy policy for the world [Policy Perspectives
Obama's energy policies need to start domestically but aspire to global influence. The basic philosophy should be to rely on markets whenever they work well, but to step in aggressively when market failures appear. This means making the costs of global warming, air pollution, and energy security visible to energy consumers. It means seeking ways to recirculate more dollars domestically in order to reduce trade deficits. It means encouraging a gre…
