מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה
This book covers practical and philosophical aspects of Engineering, paying special attention to the social impacts of emerging technologies. Some fundamentals of philosophy of technology are introduced followed by social, economic, and environmental discussion and implications in different disciplines. Each chapter provides insights on the responsibilities involved in the design of engineering projects. The examples presented combine concepts about the impacts of Engineering in society at the same time that incorporates new technological models, yielding an innovative approach about the topics.

A . C. Zambroni de Souza holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (1987), a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (1990) and a PhD in Electrical Engineering - University of Waterloo Canada (1995). He is currently a full professor at the Federal University of Itajubá.He was a Visiting Professor (CAPES Scholarship) at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2000. In 2008 he was with the University of Strathclyde, Scotland. He acts in the area of stability of electrical systems, with special emphasis on the topic of voltage stability in transmission and distribution systems. As sub-topics, it works on voltage control and reactive power and analysis of electrical losses. Nowadays, his focus is on smart grids and smart cities, which includes the social effects of technologies. He is associate editor of the Journal of Control, Automation & Electrical Systems. Since 2015 he has been an Associate Editor of the Renewable Power Generation (IET-RPG) and of the IET Power Electronics, both under the coordination of The Institution of Engineering and Technology in the United Kingdom. He has served as a reviewer in national and international magazines and conferences. He is Fellow Member of the "IET - The Institution of Engineering and Technology", and has edited a book with Springer on “Microgrids Design”.
