Engineering Reimagined EP8: redesigning STEM education | Mamokgethi Phakeng

Across the globe, private and public education policies are changing to increase the diversity of students in higher education. Unfortunately, in some institutions, increasing student diversity is hampered especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics – also known as STEM. If our goal is to achieve inclusive excellence, where do we start? Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng is asking the same questions on her campus.

In this episode of Engineering Reimagined, Aurecon Civil Engineer Rebecca Ilunga chats with Professor Phakeng about what the future curriculum might look like as well as the challenges and opportunities for women in STEM fields. We also discuss how creativity and innovation can be catalysts in our career aspirations.
