Topic: The Value of Diversified Thought in Engineering and the Challenges of Embracing it
 
Speaker: Dave Hardy
 
About the Presentation:
There is a strong push for Diversity and Equality in the corporate workplace lately. How does this affect the engineering world, the engineering leaders and managers, and the projects we work on with these varying groups? What does it mean to us? Mr. Hardy will discuss his insights to provoke thought and discussion on the dynamics of introduced differences in culture, experience, and background in the engineering field, and how we may find ourselves more interested in the value than we think.
