DESCRIPTION:In dealing with complex problems\, it is helpful for engineers
  to become aware of habits and open their eyes to other ways of seeing and
  doing\, as solving (today's) multidisciplinary wicked problems often requ
 ire that. For example\, if we consider a complex societal issue such as t
 he energy crisis\, engineers should recognize that the solution may not so
 lely lie in developing new energy harvesting technologies.\nInstead\, they
  should also consider the systemic context that may need innovation\, such
  as political structures\, unequal access to resources\, or ways of promot
 ing sustainable policies and practices in their context.\nThe session will
  take participants through exploring different perspectives while talking 
 about engineering issues of today and tomorrow. \nBy recognizing the inte
 rconnectedness of various factors\, engineers can contribute to more holis
 tic and impactful solutions to wicked problems.\nRecognizing one’s own p
 erspective is the first step towards valuing other perspectives or approac
 hes to a problem.\nBy understanding 'our own eyes'\, we can connect with a
 nd value other perspectives and alternate ways of doing something.\n\nFaci
