Welcome to Sketch Model - Trailer

  • Summary

  • There are lots of podcasts about the ethics of technology, but Sketch Model is different. During this special 6-part series, host Sara Hendren and her guests will zero in on engineering education and the classroom as a formative site that shapes the ethics of technology. How do students in the much lauded STEM field learn to address the humanistic concerns about technology? The "why" and "should" questions about what they make, whether in code or with robotics or AI. How is it that social and political concerns are so easily cut out of technical training? And what would it look like to bring them back in?

    Sketch Model / Presented by Olin College of Engineering is a new audio series about the engineering classroom and how the humanistic disciplines of the arts, the humanities and the social sciences shape the "why" and "should" questions about the technologies we build. The podcast will talk about some of the surprising trends that are happening in engineering education now and will discuss the history of ethics and politics among engineers over the last century.
