Obviously, no one expects a newly graduated hire to know everything during their first week, but early impressions stick. Question for the managers and senior engineers on here: What can a new grad do in those first few days to make you incredibly glad you hired them? What sets them apart early on?
Causality by John Chidgey is a good one. It delves deeply into failures that generally relate to engineering and root cause analysis.
“Being an engineer”has some high level stuff
With the exception of a few stories, Cautionary Tales with Tim Hartford isn't strictly about engineering, but it provides excellent insight into the kind of thinking that engineers need to be aware of.
An engineering, politics, and dark comedy podcast called Well There's Your Problem examines the causes, circumstances, and effects of engineering disasters throughout history, focusing on the mistakes that directly contributed to each catastrophe. I listen to it even during my breaks at work.
For all my women out there, tune into Glorious Ladies of Engineering if you like listening to the diversity in the field of engineering.
On the Space Engineering Podcast, engineers from the aerospace and defense industry discuss the technical specifics of their profession. Brian Douglas, who is well-known for his videos of control systems lectures, is the guest for the first episode.
"Engines of our ingenuity" and "99% invisible". Those were the Podcast channels I usually listen to. I've tried other Podcasts but I find them boring.
99% Invisible is my favorite. I look forward to the episodes weekly.
Her Stem Story is very refreshing and a perspective I haven't heard from any engineering podcast
I like engineering heroes
My top 3 are already mentioned in the other comments. Glorious Ladies of Engineering, The Amp Hour, and 99% Invisible. What's yours?
99% invisible all the way. The other podcasts are boring and redundant.
