IEEE NL WIE Lunch & Learn - Engineering with Purpose : Tech Stewardship in Turbulent times

2025-10-02T14:30:00.000Z, 2025-10-02T14:30:00.000Z – 2025-10-02T15:30:00.000Z
, Room Faculty Lounge (EN4000), Memorial University of Newfoundland

Hosted by Newfoundland-Labrador Section Affinity Group, WIE
Co-hosted by Newfoundland-Labrador Sect Jt. Chap,OE22/GRS29; Newfoundland-Labrador Section;

The IEEE NL Section Women in Engineering (WIE) is pleased to host a special talk titled “Engineering with Purpose: Tech Stewardship in Turbulent Times” by Dr. Janna Rosales.

What does it mean to be a responsible engineer in a world that feels increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous? In this interactive talk, Dr. Janna Rosales invites students, faculty, and professionals in STEM to explore the concept of tech stewardship—a mindset that goes beyond innovation to consider the broader impacts of our work.

We’ll dive into real-world “wicked problems”—those messy, interconnected challenges with no easy solutions. Think climate change, AI ethics, clean water access, misinformation, and the future of work in an automated world. These are the kinds of issues where engineering meets ethics, and where your choices can shape the future. Using the lens of tech stewardship, we’ll unpack how engineers can help shape a more just, sustainable, and humane future.

Whether you're just starting out or deep into your career, this session will challenge you to think differently about your role in a rapidly changing world.
