Technological Impacts are the effects, both positive and negative, that result from developing and using technologies. It is impossible to explore how each technological product or process will impact the future. However, it is important to understand how engineering problems and their solutions are interconnected with relevant (a) environmental, (b) global, (c) social, (d) cultural, (e) economic, (f) individual, and (g) political issues in order to evaluate/revise solutions in terms of these various non-technical factors. This core concept is important to Professionalism, as engineering professionals recognize that having control over Earth’s future carries with it serious responsibilities and thus, they must consider non-technical factors as well as technical factors when analyzing and solving problems.
