The Eighteenth Annual Meeting, open to Association members and nonmembers, welcomes persons from various disciplines and professions for discussion of common concerns in practical and professional ethics. The meeting provides an opportunity to meet practitioners, professionals and scholars who share your interests.
Submissions are invited on ethical issues in various fields (e.g., public administration, law, the environment, accounting, engineering, computer science, research, business, medicine, journalism and the academy) and on issues that cut across professions. Special consideration will be given to topics that deal with ethical issues which cut across at least two disciplines or professions and are coauthored by persons from different disciplines. Teaching demonstrations, discussion of moral education, and presentations on ethics curriculum development are welcome.

The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics is pleased to announce that, with support of the Squire Family Foundation, we will sponsor a competition at the next Annual Meeting to advance the work of those interested in precollege ethics. The Squire Family Foundation Award and a check for $1000 will be presented at the Annual Meeting for the best paper submitted on pre-college ethics.
Papers should be submitted through the regular submission process and may address issues of pedagogy, such as those that describe the advancement of a pre-college ethics curriculum; extracurricular activities such as ethics clubs, essay contests, and ethics bowls; school-based ethics centers; or collaboration with post-secondary ethics centers and the community. Analytic and research papers are eligible.
Indicate on the Submission and Registration Form that you are submitting a paper for the Pre-College Ethics Paper Competition.
The Squire Family Foundation will also provide support to invite a distinguished ethicist to address the issue at the Annual Meeting.

The Survival Skills and Ethics ProgramPosted December 20, 2007
As part of a sustained effort to advance the field of engineering, ethics, and society, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is developing a workshop series on “Engineering Ethics and Engineering Leadership.” The first in the series, titled “Engineering, Social Justice, and Sustainable Community Development,” begins the process of enhancing engineering research and practice and improving engineering education through attention to issues of engineering ethics.
Engineering addresses problems and opportunities of great importance to the world’s poor and underserved populations and nations, and many individual engineers as well as engineering groups are responsive to humanitarian crises and problems of social and environmental justice. This conference will highlight and examine engineering activities and educational programs that are responding to these needs, and the ethical issues that these endeavors encompass. It will build bridges between engineering, ethics, and humanitarian action, social justice and sustainable community development, to enhance research, practice and education in engineering and engineering ethics. It will promote attention to ethical issues and leadership in the engineering professions, and enhance understanding among other professions and the public about engineering in these contexts.
The NAE has appointed a group of advisors to its effort in engineering, ethics, and society. An inter-disciplinary and diverse body, it has responsibility for planning and oversight of the meeting. It will also help to develop the evaluation plans and assess conference results. The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) has agreed to co-sponsor the event and will help to publicize it and suggest speakers and attendees. This is a new level of collaboration between these organizations. About 100 participants, of whom two-thirds will be engineers, will attend the day and a half meeting, scheduled in early October 2008, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC, or at a similar venue selected for its proximity to key national and international organizations. Speakers and participants will be diverse, including US and foreign citizens, representatives of groups underrepresented in science and engineering, leaders in private and public sector organizations, and persons in early as well as senior career stages.
The NAE will disseminate conference information and results broadly to interested academic, professional and public audiences in numerous fields and from diverse populations. There are numerous electronic publicity and dissemination channels in the Academies, as well as several journals and the National Academies Press. Other dissemination channels will include sessions at the meetings of relevant professional societies, including the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, and articles for their journals, and special sections or issues in refereed journals. Outreach and dissemination in organizations that reach underrepresented groups and engineering faculty and science teachers at the secondary school level will be given special emphasis, and the NAE will maintain an electronic portal for workshop publicity, documents, and discussion throughout the planning, meeting, and follow-up phases of the project.
For further information, contact Dr. Brian Schrag, Executive Secretary, APPE or Dr. Rachelle Hollander, NAE RHollander@nas.edu
