Aligning Engineering & Public Works
WEBINAR: June 9, 2026, 9:00AM - 10:00AM PT
The Engineering Workforce Consortium is showcasing how some of the most innovative engineering programs in the U.S. are providing educational experiences that emphasize communication, teamwork, and innovation under current accreditation requirements.
Current workforce challenges require an “all hands on deck” approach to solutions, which includes reviewing the education of future engineers and public works professionals. Do current engineering and technology undergraduate courses provide the skills and knowledge needed for the industry? How can industry leaders help support university programs in providing the best education for successful careers?
Webinar Topics:
- How engineering & PWX curriculums align with evolving industry needs
- Role of industry & PWX leaders in strengthening engineering programs
- Successful models of innovative programs that incorporate microcredentials
Presenters:
