Happy early International Women in Engineering Day! How exciting to be an honorable mention and I am proud to be working for Affiliated Engineers, Inc. Women are still a minority in the engineering industry, so I appreciate AEI's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's crucial for encouraging more women to join the field. The work we do is genuinely exciting, and as society increasingly recognizes engineering as a viable and rewarding career for women, more young women will be inspired to pursue it. Engineering no longer needs to be seen as a man's career; it's a field where women can thrive and make significant contributions.
For young women considering careers in engineering, I have three pieces of advice. First, have confidence in your abilities. You can tackle challenging tasks and excel in them. You have the creativity to design innovative solutions for the unique problems that arise in projects. Second, always be learning. Never hesitate to ask questions, no matter how small or basic they may seem. Continuously push yourself to take on new tasks and challenges. By doing so, you'll gain valuable knowledge and experience, becoming more capable and confident in your ability to work independently in the future. Third, seek mentorship. People are generally kind and willing to support you if you ask for what you need. Get advice about licensing or accreditations, continuing education, career choices, design decisions, and more. Talking to people who have been through what you’re going through is a great way to reduce stress and be better prepared. In design work, there’s always more than one way to achieve a goal, so you’ll learn a lot from others by sharing and discussing ideas.
This Sunday, June 23rd, is International Women in Engineering Day — a time to celebrate women engineers’ accomplishments, promote gender diversity in the field, and encourage youth to consider a career in engineering.
By commemorating women engineers and supporting their professional growth, #AEI fosters an inclusive and diverse workplace. Their dedication and expertise drive our success and shape a better future through engineering excellence.
In celebration, we’ve invited several of our remarkable women engineers to share their journeys, challenges, advice, and more!
