Purpose

The mission of the IEEE-USA Emerging Technology Directions Committee is to anticipate and identify career, professional and policy issues arising from new and emerging technologies in IEEE’s technical fields of interest in order to assist IEEE-USA in developing appropriate organizational responses and to support IEEE’s engagement with those new technology areas.
