Do electronics engineers, embedded programmers, and makers have an ethical responsibility to use their skills and components in positive ways? Should ethics play a role in how multinational electronics-focused corporations do business? How should electronics ethics factor in the ways hardware start-ups approach product development? The 2021 World Ethical Electronics Forum (WEEF) addressed these questions and more.

Ethical Electronics for the Future

These are important questions to consider as we develop the electronic systems and information technology solutions that will shape the 21st century. The World Ethical Electronics Forum (WEEF) brought together engineers, electronics industry executives, tech journalists, and forward-thinking policy makers to discuss ethics and sustainable development goals. The attendees could think along with the WEEF panelists and speakers as they touched on topics such as eco-friendly PCB design, e-waste management, social impact of electronics projects, and more.
