We're talking civil engineering on the podcast, using the profession as an example of how to approach the world with ethics and fundamentals. In our conversation with Michael White, we’ll learn how civil engineers keep the principles of their professions in mind when they’re confronted with new and ever-changing challenges, as these folks are often at the forefront of civilian safety.

Leading with the fundamentals

On Good, Thoughtful Hosts, Sarah Steimer explores the built environment on the notion that a designer’s role is to anticipate the needs of their guests. Join us to dig into the ways in which the built world can influence people’s feelings and experiences — and how. Beyond the traditional requisites of form and function, hear firsthand from architects, engineers, planners, and more on how they imbue designs with health, well-being, user experience, and other modern priorities. Interviews and discussions will include project case studies, profiles of designers, trend reports, and much, much more.
