Engineering Change Podcast
Engineering Change is the podcast designed to help REDEFINE engineering as we know it by: RE-imaging who we see as engineers and what we see as engineering, DE-siloing academic programs and problem solving, and FINE-tuning culture and climate using best practices for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) so people from all backgrounds and identities can succeed. It's about being just as intentional with JEDI as we are with solving any other problems in engineering; applying a carefully planned, iterative process that includes the stakeholders from problematization through ideation, evaluation and ultimately, selecting the best solutions. Each episode leaves the audience with strategies you can put into practice wherever you are in the process of ENGINEERING CHANGE.

Season 4
•
Episode 28
This is a continuation of our conversation from Episode 27, where we introduced current and past participants in conversations about the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. In this episode, we discussed the importance of institutional change and the scholars shared their advice for program officers and project leaders on programmatic strategies for advancing equity in the STEM professoriate and for new and prospective scholars on how to thrive as graduate students, postdoctoral scholars or early career faculty members.
Our guests include:
- Dr. Luis De Jesus Baez, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo
- Brianna Gonzalez, Integrative Neuroscience Ph.D. Candidate at Stony Brook University
- Gretchen Johnson, Biology Ph.D. Candidate at Howard University
- Diego Padilla-Garcia, Ph.D. Candidate in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara
- Dr. Lecia Robinson, Assistant Professor of Biology at Tuskegee University
- Dr. Tammi Taylor, Assistant Professor of Biology at Jackson State University
- Dr. Shavonn Whiten, Lead Scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton
- Dr. Michael D. Whitt, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at California State University – San Luis Obispo
