Episode 11: Unsticking the System with Mike McMeekin 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 11: Unsticking the System with Mike McMeekin

October 21, 2020 • Season 2 • Episode 11

If 2020 has taught us nothing else, it has taught us flexibility, resilience, and that the concept of "normalcy" is fleeting. While presenting huge challenges, 2020 has made it clear that change is possible. We've seen flexible modes of working that have reduced barriers for many, more widespread attention to systemic inequities and the need to eradicate them, and a heightened awareness of the societal impacts of engineering. This episode is a conversation with Mike McMeekin, Executive Director of Engineering Change Lab (ECL) USA. We speak at great length about insights shared at ECL-USA's Summit 9 focused on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) in engineering education and practice. Grab a latte and listen to get takeaways you can put into action TODAY!
