Engineering has always addressed challenges by advancing technology. But success now depends not only on technical expertise but also on the ability to connect people, foster collaboration and drive innovation across complex environments. 

What does it take to lead as an engineer in an era defined by AI, global collaboration and rapid change?

Join Professor Emily Moore for an engaging discussion on how engineering careers are evolving and how leaders can adapt to meet new challenges. Drawing on her research into engineering career paths, teamwork and organizational dynamics, Professor Moore will share practical insights on developing the skills that matter for long-term success. Discover how engineers can strengthen their leadership capabilities, navigate change with confidence and amplify their impact in a world where the human side of engineering has never been more important.
