Outreach and Mentorship

In this episode, I talk to Kevin Brown Jr., P.E., a construction manager at Urban Engineers, about how outreach and mentorship can lead to a more diverse industry.

Outreach and Mentorship

Here Are Some of the Questions I Ask Kevin About Outreach and Mentorship:

  • What can civil engineers do to prepare themselves for work on construction sites?
  • Why is it important for engineers to reach out to underrepresented communities?
  • What are some of the challenges you have faced when connecting with the youth in communities?
  • Why is the representation of diverse groups important?
  • What advice would you want to give to someone who would be interested in serving as a mentor?
  • How can engineers incorporate corporate DEI plans in the workplace?

Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset: Risk Is Opportunity

March 23, 2020 By EMI

This is a guest blog by Michael Burns, PE, PgMP, DBIA

An Entrepreneurial Mindset

In previous EMI blogs, we discussed Thinking Big and Being Mindful as We Set Goals and Building Confidence Through Empathetic Stakeholder Engagement. I fully respect that managing these objectives with a myriad of associated voices can be distracting as we attempt to sustain growth. Sustaining growth, for our businesses and talent, is particularly difficult in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry, as we constantly regroup to provide service on projects that marry significant technical challenges with dynamic client expectations. So, the intent of this month’s discussion is to explore a Risk Intelligent approach, creating a consistent basis for our teams to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and explore entrepreneurial solutions.
