Abstract
In today's fast moving technological landscape, engineering ethics changes just as fast. Concepts such as good or bad are no longer defined as black or white. The grey area is where companies make decisions that can make or break a company.
Engineering Ethics:
- Making Money: The US vs the World.
- Community: Keep it safe or let the them squeak?
- Growing the company. Go big or go home?
Bio:
As a graduate of the University of Florida with dual degrees in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering, Augi founded numerous startups with over $25 million in Angel and Venture Capital Funding. His research in acoustical physics and vision processing was the foundation for ToneRite, Accelerant, Skyward Capital and Trendy Entertainment. During his tenure as CEO of Trendy Entertainment, Augi oversaw the creation of Dungeon Defenders which climbed to the top 10 sales charts for PC, Xbox, PS3, iPhone, iPad and Android.
Augi is also a prolific violinist and cellist. While in college, Augi recorded 5 albums and toured extensively with the rock/rap band Cue Estey. Augi continues to perform with the Gainesville Orchestra and numerous chamber music events around the South.
