Episode 10: Trailblazers: Engineering Change with Modern Figures Artwork

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.

Episode 10: Trailblazers: Engineering Change with Modern Figures

September 23, 2020 • Dr. Yvette E. Pearson • Season 1 • Episode 10

This is the third of three (3) special episodes in which I joined forces with my colleagues Dr. Jeremy Waisome and Dr. Kyla McMullen at Modern Figures Podcast in Summer 2020. In this episode, we discuss how the desire to make a difference fueled our guests' passion and resulted in them UNINTENTIONALLY becoming TRAILBLAZERS in engineering and higher education. Our guests are: Dr. Stephanie G. Adams, Dean of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at University of Texas at Dallas and 2019-20 President of the American Society for Engineering Education; Dr. Bevlee Watford, Associate Dean of Equity and Engagement in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech and 2017-18 President of the American Society for Engineering Education; and Dr. Reginald DesRoches, Provost at Rice University and National Academy of Engineering member.
