Mavens of Manufacturing Ep. 171: Empathic Engineering

In this live discussion on Mavens of Manufacturing, I sit down with Emily Honor Hubbard to talk about Empathic Engineering.

Emily is a Spanish-bilingual mechanical engineer. She is passionate about helping engineers do the work that they love. Often, that just requires a new set of skills.

Her academic background includes a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo, where she published research on the development of empathy in engineers.

This research, along with her experience in US-Mexico manufacturing, has provided her with effective listening, communication, and problem-solving methods that consistently save time and money. Once, Emily saved a company $70,000 in 3 days by opening communication channels between international teammates.
