One often overlooked aspect of the engineering student's experience is the culture and climate they encounter during industry internships. One often overlooked voice is that of the student. This episode gives you both! It's a conversation with Javian Pierson, an undergraduate mechanical engineering student at Southern University, about her experiences as an intern in industry, the transition from HBCU culture to corporate culture, the importance of mentorship, and how to use what are seemingly failures as springboards for success.

Episode 7: You Ask, We Answer

Engineering Change is the podcast designed to help REDEFINE engineering education by: RE-imaging who we see as engineers and what we see as engineering, DE-siloing academic programs and problem solving, and FINE-tuning academic culture and climate so people from all backgrounds can succeed. Each episode leaves students, faculty, and administrators with strategies they can put into practice wherever they are in the process of ENGINEERING CHANGE.
