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 12: Black in Engineering with Dr. Carlotta Berry, Dr. Audrey Bowden, and Dr. Cullen Buie

The year 2020 has been unprecedented in a number of ways. Systemic racism has come to the forefront of society with global outcries for justice rarely seen, especially in recent years. Couple that with a pandemic that has adversely impacted millions globally - in terms of illnesses, deaths, job losses, education, and so much more - it's no wonder why so many people are #OVER2020.
This episode is a conversation with Dr. Carlotta Berry, a co-founder of BlackinEngineering.org, and Dr. Audrey Bowden and Dr. Cullen Buie, two faculty members who led the development of the group's Call to Action for becoming an anti-racist university. We discuss many of the "hows" and "whys" of change and the life or death imperative for equity and inclusion in engineering research and problem solving, especially as related to Covid-19 and other global challenges.
