Best of: How do we educate a new kind of engineer?

A perspective on the need for diversity and empathy in the engineering profession. As we enter a new academic year, it’s an opportune time to think about how we’re educating the next generation of engineers.

Professor Sheppard shares about ways that will help us educate engineers who not only are technically trained but also bring empathy into their work.
