"We are ready to meet this moment."
Dr. Donna Riley, Kamyar Haghighi Head of the School of Engineering Education
We are stronger than we believed, and more vulnerable than we knew. We have deeper capacity for creativity and caring community than we thought possible, and we will need these reserves to meet one another, more exhausted than we could have imagined.
Come listen and reflect with appreciation all we have accomplished together in pursuit of our core principles – above all else, putting students first in all we do. We have learned viscerally in these dual pandemics, facing coronavirus and systemic racism, what is required of our profession to meet increasingly complex, uncertain, and conflict-laden engineering challenges now and in the future. We are ready to meet this moment, drawing on engineering education research to reshape our engineering formation and workforce development infrastructure, instilling new and necessary capacities for designing equitable, just, and sustainable sociotechnical systems.

June 14, 2021: ENE Student Ambassador Harry Nguyen, who just completed First-Year Engineering during the COVID-19 Pandemic, interviewed Dr. Donna Riley, the Kamyar Haghighi Head of the School of Engineering Education. With gratitude, they reflect on the past year, the transitions for both the students and our faculty, academic advising and instructional teams, and all that was accomplished. Shortly after this video was shared, our faculty and staff of the First-Year Engineering Program were recognized for their innovative work during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
