Our second talk-show is Sustainable Engineers: Guardian of the Green Galaxy. The talk-show will explore current approaches, lenses, gaps and prospects for a broad integration of sustainability in engineering education. The host is Diana Martin (UCL, The UK), and will feature as guests Olga Pierakkos (Wake Forrest University, The US), Irene Josa (UCL, The UK), and John B. Kleba (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica, Brazil). The Routledge International Handbook of Engineering Ethics Education originated as a SEFI SIG Ethics workshop idea at the 2021 Annual SEFI Conference. This became a SEFI project edited by Shannon Chance, Tom Børsen, Diana Adela Martin, Roland Tormey, Thomas Taro Lennerfors and Gunter Bombaerts, who were joined by a team of 108 authors from across the world who collaborated in the development of 36 chapters “mapping” the field of engineering ethics education. It is now time to celebrate together as a community and take stock of key advances in the field of engineering ethics and engineering education more broadly. The talk-show series which will run between 2025-2027 is coordinated by Diana Adela Martin (University College London, The UK). Wed, Mar 5, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna We look forward to having you attend the event! See more details[/link] •	6	7	8	9

17 SEFI@work : Compound Problems, Humility and Curiosity – a Plea for Slowing Down Learning Processes [tittle] 17 March 2025 @ 16 h 00 min - 17 h 00 min [where] Join a new SEFI@work session from The (Un)certainty (Dis)comfort Series, brought to you by Siara Isaac (EPFL), on behalf of the SEFI Ethics Special Interest Group. REGISTER HERE Ill-defined problems and associated uncertainties have been often hailed as one of the significant differences between work and education settings. The desire to introduce « real world problems » into educational systems created a flurry of innovations such as problem-based and project-based learning. These innovations created (un-?) intended by-products and affordances such as focusing on acceleration of expertise development and creating job-like performance expectations for students. This talk will explore how research on compound problems and humility and curiosity might challenge underlying assumptions of the role of education and the design of learning experiences. This workshop is for you if: explore by-products of educational design decisions. engage in a conversation on the difference between jobs and education systems. connect with other researchers and teachers interested in support engineering students to constructively engage with uncertainty. Speaker: Johannes Strobel, Associate Dean, Research & Graduate Studies, Professor, and Execuitve Director, Hopper-Dean for K-12 Computer Science Education, University of Texas at El Paso, USA Target Audience: Engineering Educators, Engineering Education PhD Students, Early-career researchers, senior administrators Mon, Mar 17, 2025 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna We look forward to speaking with you at the event!

However, as stated in the 2nd UNESCO Engineering Report, the increasing need for engineers has made it become even more "essential that more young people, especially girls, consider engineering as a career". In fact, attracting underrepresented groups, such as girls, will help to “ensure the diversity of thought and inclusive participation that is essential to achieving all the SDGs”. The time to act – attracting, engaging, and supporting girls to consider engineering as a career – is now. But how do we go about attracting young girls to engineering in the most effective way? In this webinar, the SIG Attractiveness gathers experts from different countries at a virtual roundtable to share best practices and learnings from both industry and academia on how to attract girls to pursue engineering careers. We will discuss how industry and academia can work together to contribute to students' motivation to pursue engineering and share best practices to create effective in- and after-school activities. We invite you to engage in an interactive discussion about the shared responsibility to increase attractiveness and diversity in engineering. Aspects that will be covered, are: Motivations for girls to consider engineering as a career Good practice examples from industry and academia Ideas for collaborations between industry and academia This webinar is for you: If you are an educator and looking for best practices for attracting girls to engineering. If you are from industry and NGOs and want to support young girls to explore an engineering career. If you are curious on how the interplay of academia and industry can help support women in engineering from a young age. This SEFI@work is organised by the Attractiveness SIG, and hosted by Georgia Kittou (University of Twente, Netherlands). Speakers: Frédérique Trouvé Roger (STEM Racing, France), Nayane da Silva Fernandes (Ansys, France), and Phil Eves (BAM UK & Ireland, UK). We look forward to speaking with you at the event!
