Held over Zoom on select months of the year, HCEC's free Human-Centered Engineering get-togethers are a great way to meet like-minded leaders and educators in a casual, conversational setting.
With each discussion we seek to build community, gain insights, and expand the possibilities and applications of Human-Centered Engineering.
Stay for the whole session, or drop in and out as you can.
All are welcome!

Topic: MEASURING SUCCESS IN HUMAN-CENTERED ENGINEERING
Building on our September session (Defining Core Competencies of Human-Centered Engineering), this month we're asking a practical follow-up: How do we know human-centered engineering is working? Beyond enrollment, grades, and job placement, what counts as success for a student, a course, a program, or a community?
This casual Zoom conversation will open with a short shared prompt, then an open discussion where participants can share examples from their own teaching, program, or practice. We are especially interested in hearing about things you care about that are hard to measure.
