Abstract:
Fostering a dynamic and innovative science and engineering landscape is imperative in the 21st century. The twin digital and biotechnology revolutions and pressing issues related to climate change have shown the need for STEM professionals to go beyond technical skills to develop awareness of the ethical implications of scientific and technological advancements; develop new ways to communicate the construction, results, impact and significance of their work with society; and inform policymakers of the impact of their work on evolving policies. This panel will discuss the need for a program that equips STEM professionals with tools to address these new challenges.
