"The world's problems are getting more and more complex. They require multiple disciplines to be able to solve,” says Alexis Abramson, who is the dean of the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College and a mechanical engineer by trade. “When we're dealing with a problem like climate change—or, think about building medical devices—we can't solve that problem in isolation.” On this episode of The Big REthink, Abramson joins host Barry Ross to share her take on why a holistic, interdisciplinary approach that she calls human-centered engineering is crucial to solving sustainability issues and combatting climate change.
