Educating People-First Engineers: A Q&A with Cindy Finelli and Erin Cech
Preparing the next generation of engineers to consider public welfare when developing new technologies.Engineers have a duty to protect public well-being, but less than half learn how to do so effectively
Training in formal classes proves the most effective way to prepare engineers to protect public welfare at workCindy Finelli named David C. Munson, Jr. Collegiate Professor of Engineering
Finelli is a trailblazer and leader in the area of Engineering Education Research.Congrats ECE alumni who joined academia
Congratulations to these ECE graduates who have recently joined academia as faculty members!Educating engineers as whole people
