Gender and Technology: The Case of the Energy Sector

Energy policy is often formulated in a gender-neutral manner; that is, it is assumed by policy makers that women and men use and benefit equally from current energy systems. However, policies are incorrectly considered neutral by policy makers since they ignore the differential impacts they have on different genders and socioeconomic and cultural groups. Based on such false assumptions, the policies are less effective and/or have unintended effects. This white paper by the IEEE Dignity, Inclusion, Identity, Trust, and Agency (DIITA) Industry Connections Program discusses these issues.

Engineering Ethics: Power Engineering

In this course the author discusses the IEEE Code of Ethics that engineers can use as a reference when they confront ethical questions in professional situations. The author also provides a guided review of ethical decision-making using a case study in power engineering. Several suggestions and additional references for improving ethical decision-making are offered.
