ADVOCACY IN ACTION
CREATING FAILURE-SAFE WORKPLACES
During the discussion, Tremblay asked the audience who among them could
exercise creativity at work. Approximately 25 per cent raised their hands. The
panelists talked about the importance of creating workplace environments where
engineers had the opportunity to try new things and make mistakes. Hashemi
spoke about celebrating failures as well as successes as an important way to
encourage innovation. Isi Caulder echoed this, detailing the patent process and the
importance of working with employees to protect new inventions with Intellectual
Property such as patents, designs, trademarks and copyright.
BECOMING LEADERS
Dr. Tibor Turi, Ph.D., P.Eng., inspired
the audience by sharing a personal story.
"Early in my career, I learned to ask less
for permission and more for forgiveness
in order to truly exercise creativity in
my job... as engineers, professionals,
and people, you have to think, what
is your legacy? What is the mark that
you want to leave on the world? We all
want to accomplish something that we
can be proud of. Climate change being
one of the greatest challenges today -
young people are standing up saying
"DO SOMETHING" and come up with
solutions to tackle this massive issue.
This is what we're all striving to do as
people and as engineers, and we should
keep that as our focus and higher calling
in the work that we do."
TRAINING ENGINEERS
DIFFERENTLY
Caulder spoke about engineers in
Europe, and the integration of the arts
into their education, not simply as an
elective. She outlined that this helps
create well-rounded professionals who
have a thorough understanding of the
world and the skills necessary to excel in
the modern labour market. Turi spoke
about turning the classroom around
to focus on application first, and then
learning how to describe an innovation
to the masses to foster a more creative
process in engineering.
The engineering profession is changing
- engineers are increasingly aware of
the need to develop communications
and business skills, become thought
leaders, collaborate with others, and
find purpose in their work. Engineering
workplaces must work to ensure that
they create environments that foster
this and adapt to the new realities of the
workforce to propel the profession into
the future.
