ECL-USA Summit 10, Licensure Models for the Fourth Industrial Revolution is complete. The summit was presented in partnership with the National Society of Professional Engineers and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying.

The participants in the summit explored the future of licensure for engineering and the role licensure and regulatory bodies can play in ensuring that engineers and organizations engaged in the development of the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution act in the public interest. The discussion was informed and framed by the perspectives of our summit provocateurs…. Read More

Thanks to Dr. Yvette Pearson, Associate Dean at the Rice University School of Engineering, for featuring ECL-USA on her Engineering Change Podcast series. Dr. Pearson’s podcast (https://engineeringchangepodcast.com/resources) and her work is seeking to transform engineering and aligns closely with the work of ECL-USA. She is particularly interested in shifting cultures to enhance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion engineering education and practice.

Engineering Change Lab – USA (ECL-USA) will present two events in the coming weeks that continue to explore the future of engineering. In recognition of the ongoing reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will utilize virtual programming through mid-2021. Until our in-person summits are resumed, we will offer a series of half-day, virtual mini-summits at intervals of about every two months. Each of these mini-summits will continue the “deep dive” aspects of our in-person summits. We will also experiment with informal, virtual open houses between the mini-summits to continue the discussions began at summits and to maintain the connections between participants that are an important element of our work.

Upcoming Events

• December 16, 2020 – Summit 10, Licensure Models for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Summit 10 will feature a half-day deep dive into the need for engineering licensure models to adapt to the transformational technological developments of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Presented in partnership with the National Society of Professional Engineers and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying.

Future Events

• January 2021 – ECL-USA Virtual Open House
• February 2021 – Summit 11, Developing a Climate Change Public Policy Strategy for the Engineering Community (Tentative)
• March 2021 – ECL-USA Virtual Open House
• April 2021 – Summit 12, Consulting Engineering in a Post-COVID World (Tentative)
• May – June 2021, ECL-USA Virtual Open House
• July – August 2021, The Engineering Ideas Institute II (Topics to be determined)
