Show and Tell

"...As the graduate program director at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s College of Engineering and Information Technology, Woodrow Winchester III is used to discussing bold ideas with faculty and industry professionals. Last year, however, the pandemic prompted him to seek a broader audience for his insights on how engineering could help transform the US public health system. On one level, Winchester, a design futurist, thought the topic would resonate since health care affects everyone. But he also wanted “to be a bit of a provocateur” and inspire students who might be drawn to engineering if made aware of its many medical applications. The Conversation, an online news organization that publishes general-interest articles written by academic experts, offered the perfect platform. Winchester’s piece garnered readers worldwide and was picked up by Business Insider, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and a dozen other media outlets." (ASEE Prism, March 22)
