In this episode, we talk about the application process for graduate school and medical school, as well as our own experiences with it. We also discuss managing stress within the process.

In this episode, we discuss the basics of engineering ethics as well as three ethical case studies within research, medical studies, and civil engineering. The specific case studies we discuss are Henrietta Lacks and HeLa Cells, the Tacoma Narrows First Suspension Bridge, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

In this episode, we talk about methods we use to live sustainably, as well as sustainable business and engineering practices. 

In this episode, we discuss why less women study engineering, and continue to work in the engineering field post-grad. We also discuss ways to combat these issues - in early education, within undergraduate education, and in the workplace.

In this episode, we discuss the chromium remediation project Shannon has been working on this past semester. 

In this episode, we talk about the different career paths, jobs, and programs available after graduating with your engineering degree. We discuss our own experiences that have helped us decide on our career paths, and hear from a few friends about theirs. 

In this episode, we talk about types of Imposter Syndrome, mitigation techniques, and our own experiences with Imposter Syndrome. We also conduct an interview with a friend, Ashley, learning about her experiences with Imposter Syndrome and in the software engineering industry.
