Faith & Engineering Lecture, 11/1/26, BYU Electrical Engineering Department

The video runs approximately one hour. This lecture, hosted by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Brigham Young University, focuses on the intersection of engineering practice and religious faith, exploring how technical professionals can balance rational thinking with spiritual beliefs in their careers. The content covers both the real-world ethical dilemmas faced by engineers and the deeper questions clergy and theologians raise about the development of science and technology. The highlight of the talk is that the speaker does not shy away from the tension between faith and science, but instead draws on personal engineering experience to show how a devout believer finds ways to harmonize the two in work and daily life. The lecture is interspersed with real-life case studies, blending theoretical discussion with emotional resonance, and avoids empty moralizing. This lecture is suited for engineering students grounded in a religious tradition, interdisciplinary audiences interested in the relationship between science and faith, and practicing engineers who need to reflect on their professional values. It is recommended to watch with an open mind, avoiding preconceived conclusions, and to focus on the speaker's personal narrative rather than abstract argumentation. If theological discussion is not your interest, you can still extract practical insights on professional ethics.
