Teresa Curvin speaks about women, golf, and the future of STEM. She joins ASME Techcast from South Carolina where she is working to help the next generation understand and grow to love engineering. 

Sustainability is top of mind across industries. For engineers, designing and building the solutions of tomorrow not only requires a keen mind and attention to detail, but navigating the multitude of requirements set forth by industry and regulators. To speak about what’s happening on the sustainability regulation front in the construction industry, ASME TechCast welcomes Tommy Linstroth, the founder and CEO of Green Badger, a software as a service (SaaS) provider simplifying sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in the built industry. Green Badger is accelerating environmentally responsible construction worldwide by equipping the industry with affordable technology and the knowledge to automate and easily report LEED compliance and ESG metrics.  

The sensors and connected systems that make up the Internet of Things produce more data than most managers can handle. According to Rich Masulis of Wesco this means engineers and production managers are missing some signals that could make their factories more efficient. Masulis discusses how artificial intelligence can be trained on IoT data to produce insights for manufacturers.

Tracy Brower speaks about happiness, work-life, and the future of work. Advisor and coach, the vice president of workplace insights for Steelcase, offers advice for engineering without regret.

"The future is going to be the clean industrial revolution." AtmosZero is on a mission to electrify and decarbonize steam. The startup's co-founder and CEO, Addison Stark, shares his mechanical engineering story, what led him to rethink the boiler, and advice for aspiring entrepreneurial engineers.

Where is the former Miss America now? Nuclear engineer Grace Stanke recently received her degree and moved to the East Coast for the next big step in her exciting career. In this episode, we talk about how her journey started and what 2024 holds in store for the Wisconsin native.

The workforce shortage and war for talent continue. One area that’s being hit particularly hard is the technical workforce, which is facing headwinds such as rapidly advancing technological requirements and antiquated perceptions. Despite growing demand across industries, from energy to manufacturing and beyond, there’s a widening gap between available positions and qualified candidates. And the engineer-to-technician ratio is widening, even though the need for critical hands-on skillsets is growing as well. Parminder Jassal, CEO and co-founder of Unmudl, a skills-to-jobs marketplace that connects learners and employers via a coast-to-coast network of leading community colleges, joins ASME TechCast to discuss these challenges and how industry, the public, and educators can turn this trend around.

A mechanical engineer and VP of RMF Engineering discusses recruiting and training young professionals. They delve into generational perceptions in the workplace, recruitment strategies for young engineers, work from home benefits, and navigating the changing engineering landscape.

Mars has been a longstanding target for exploration, but for nearly 50 years, we've been sending robots to examine the Martian surface. Elizabeth Jens of Jet Propulsion Laboratory is one of the engineers working on systems used by the Perseverance rover and other missions. In this podcast, she talks about her work and the importance of encouraging young women to consider science and engineering careers.
