Engineers and other technologists play a major role in the world today. So it isn't surprising that an organisation such as IEEE has a Society on the Social Implications of Technology (SSIT). In Australia a local SSIT Chapter was established on the 9th of December 2005. We hold monthly committee meetings in Melbourne, and are planning regular public activities around issues of interest to both engineering and non-engineering audiences. At present our areas of interest include technology usage, technology and privacy, technology and development, sustainability, and ethics in engineering education. In coming months this web site will be expanded to reflect a wide range of issues and activities. We welcome and encourage new members.
