2024 Engineering Ideas Institute
ENGINEERING CHANGE LAB – USA
2024 ENGINEERING IDEAS INSTITUTE
September 23-25, 2024
The Colorado Chautauqua, Boulder, CO
The world is facing an unprecedented wave of change. Accelerating technological progress, rapidly evolving societal needs, and growing environmental imperatives present significant existential challenges and opportunities. The engineering community must step up as stewards of technology, the natural and built environments, and public health, safety, and welfare.
This need for change and adaptation has driven the formation of Engineering Change Lab – USA (ECL), a non-profit devoted to serving as a catalyst for change. To achieve this mission, ECL convenes stakeholders from all sectors of the engineering community to share perspectives, provoke new ways of thinking, deepen our collective understanding of the emerging future, and launch focused initiatives.
At the heart of this work is the annual Engineering Ideas Institute, a three-day, in-person summit addressing the most complex and important issues that will define the future of the engineering community.
This year’s Institute will be held from September 23 – 25, 2024, at the Colorado Chautauqua outside Boulder, CO. The theme for the 2024 Institute is “the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world that is confronting society and the engineering community.” It will explore the broad contours of this VUCA future and examine the leadership mandate for the engineering community on issues such as AI, climate change, misinformation/disinformation, and diversity and inclusion.
