ENGINEERING CHANGE® PODCAST
ENGINEERING CHΔNGE® is the podcast designed to help REDEFINE engineering by: RE-imaging who we see as engineers and what we see as engineering; DE-siloing our approach to academic programs, research, and problem solving; and FINE-tuning organizational conditions so people with different backgrounds and perspectives can contribute fully to outcomes that serve all of society. It's about being just as intentional with our organizational systems 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 will leave you with something concrete you can do to better understand your system and move forward from wherever you are in the process of ENGINEERING CHΔNGE®.

Episode 11: Unsticking the System with Mike McMeekin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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!
