340. Building a Robust Engineering Culture in Our Nation's Capital

How does a strong engineering community help shape the future of mobility? Join us as we sit down with Brent Yacobucci, Acting Director of The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, and Chair of the SAE Washington DC Section, to discuss the intersection of engineering, technology, and public policy in driving innovation in our nation's capital. From vehicle safety regulations and AI to autonomous vehicles, Brent explains why today's engineers must understand not only emerging technologies but also the policies that influence how they're developed, deployed, and adopted. The conversation also explores how the SAE Washington DC Section brings together industry, government, academia, and students to foster collaboration, innovation, and the next generation of engineering leaders. If you're in the Washington, DC area, join us on September 28 for the SAE Washington DC Section Charity Golf Outing to support student STEM programs and connect with fellow engineering professionals.
