Thus, engineers should be trained and prepared to consider, respect and collaborate with people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. • Engineering education should include the creation of extended peer communities where engineers, far from relying on the dominant role their expertise has played in the past, learn and practice convergence processes needed to create a more inclusive vision of a sustainable and resilient jurisdiction.
