What’s DEI-A Got To Do With ABET?

Virtual

Upcoming ABET criterion changes related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEI-A) change what programs accredited under the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) must demonstrate. In this panel, members of CSAB (formerly the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board), ABET-DEI Council, and CSAB Subcommittee on IDE will discuss the upcoming changes, motivating factors, and what this means for […]

Sustainable Infrastructure: A Duke Climate Collaboration Symposium

None

The U.S. and other G7 nations are engaged in a massive infrastructure buildout that could play a significant role in advancing global decarbonization, climate adaptation, and sustainable development - or in keeping the world on a business-as-usual trajectory. This three-day symposium will bring together the Duke community and outside experts to explore what it will […]

What is Sustainable Infrastructure? Building Consensus to Accelerate Financing

None

Public- and private-sector investors are seeking to advance sustainable, quality infrastructure to improve economic productivity, transition to a low-carbon economy, promote social wellbeing, and build climate resilience. Yet most new infrastructure isn't fulfilling these goals. The disconnect often comes down to a lack of consensus on how to identify sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects and […]

Certifiable Neural Control for Safe Autonomy

Hudson Hall 208

Safety is central to autonomous systems since a single failure could lead to catastrophic results. In unstructured complex environments where system states and environment information are not available, the safety-critical control problem is much more challenging. In this talk, I will first discuss safety from a control theoretic perspective with Control Barrier Functions (CBFs). CBFs […]

Implementing Ethics in Emerging Technologies

LSRC D106

LUNCH: Lunch will be served at 11:45 AM. ABSTRACT: Ethics discussions abound but translating "do no harm" into our work is frustrating at best, and obfuscatory at worst. We can agree that keeping humans safe and in control is important, but implementing ethics is intimidating work. Learn how to wield your preferred technology ethics code […]
