Engineering Change is the podcast designed to help REDEFINE engineering as we know it by: RE-imaging who we see as engineers and what we see as engineering, DE-siloing academic programs and problem solving, and FINE-tuning culture and climate using best practices for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) so people from all backgrounds and identities can succeed. It's about being just as intentional with JEDI 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 leaves the audience with strategies you can put into practice wherever you are in the process of ENGINEERING CHANGE.

NSF AGEP Alliances: Beacons for Equity in the STEM Professoriate Part II
This is a continuation of our conversation from Episode 27, where we introduced current and past participants in conversations about the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. In this episode, we discussed the importance of institutional change and the scholars shared their advice for program officers and project leaders on programmatic strategies for advancing equity in the STEM professoriate and for new and prospective scholars on how to thrive as graduate students, postdoctoral scholars or early career faculty members.
Our guests include:
Dr. Luis De Jesus Baez, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University at BuffaloBrianna Gonzalez, Integrative Neuroscience Ph.D. Candidate at Stony Brook UniversityGretchen Johnson, Biology Ph.D. Candidate at Howard UniversityDiego Padilla-Garcia, Ph.D. Candidate in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa BarbaraDr. Lecia Robinson, Assistant Professor of Biology at Tuskegee UniversityDr. Tammi Taylor, Assistant Professor of Biology at Jackson State UniversityDr. Shavonn Whiten, Lead Scientist at Booz Allen HamiltonDr. Michael D. Whitt, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at California State University – San Luis Obispo

NSF AGEP Alliances: Beacons for Equity in the STEM Professoriate Part I
The National Science Foundation’s (NSF's) Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program funds teams of institutions that work together to identify, mitigate, and ultimately eradicate, systemic barriers to success for STEM faculty from racially and ethnically minoritized identities while studying, disseminating, and reproducing those strategies to produce large-scale, sustainable change.
This episode features current and past participants in conversations about AGEP program impacts on their success. We discussed the importance of having strong mentoring networks at all stages of our journeys; they shared components of AGEP projects that have translated into professional practice and tangible outcomes for them; and we discussed how AGEP projects foster a sense of community that helps scholars succeed.

Soapbox: The Truth about ABET
There are a lot of misconceptions about ABET, and this "Soapbox" episode sets out to correct some of them. In particular, we talk about opportunities to innovate in engineering curricula in a way that meets ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) criteria requirements and advances justice, equity, diversity and inclusion by teaching students to be more equitable and inclusive engineers. After an overview, we focus this episode on student outcomes related to communication and teams.

Hit the core
Conversations are so real and to the point- love love listening to the host and all the guests. There are a lot to be done and thank you for paving and showing the way!
Something that has been missing
As a black woman in engineering who has been in many situations where I’m usually the only woman or person of color in the room or company; I have been waiting for a podcast like this. The hank you Dr. Pearson for creating this!!
GREAT
Great Podcast
