The Engineers Collective

Using our skills to benefit society and the importance of ethics in engineering with Emma Crichton from Engineers Without Borders UK


Listen Later

This month, The Engineers Collective focuses on ethical engineering, welcoming Engineers Without Borders UK head of engineering Emma Crichton to the podcast.

Crichton explains how her experience of studying for an engineering degree led her to question the lack of importance given to the ethical side of engineering. 

She explains how engineers can use their skills to benefit the whole of society and stresses how the importance of ethics in engineering needs to be better understood.
Crichton is a chartered civil engineer with six years’ experience in the Water industry in Scotland. She has worked on a variety of projects and has consistently believed in the importance of collaboration, impactful partnerships and the role engineering has to play in bettering our society.

As head of engineering at Engineers Without Borders UK she is responsible for driving forward their mission; leading their work to embed globally responsible engineering into curriculum and throughout day to day practice.

The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley’s software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for transportation infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure.
