Engineering a better digital world

The engineering profession is leading the way in adopting digital technologies across industries, embracing new and evolving technologies, processes, and tools. This is driving transformative change in how engineers innovate, design, build, and utilize technology.

To strengthen economies, the widespread adoption of trusted digital systems and connectivity is essential for enhancing society's health and wealth. While these technologies hold transformative potential, they can also be disruptive, requiring the establishment of public trust to maximize their benefits.

The IET advocates for professionalism and ethical behavior in the practice of science, engineering, and technology by all stakeholders. In doing so, the IET works to build public trust and confidence in the positive contributions new and emerging digital technologies can offer to society.
