Hosted by Laura Vogt, director of student communications for Berkeley Engineering, this first episode features an inspiring conversation with Tsu-Jae King Liu, former dean of Berkeley Engineering and current president of the National Academy of Engineering. Together, they explore what engineering is, how it impacts society, and what makes Berkeley Engineering uniquely powerful in shaping the future.
