Eryka T. Johnson’s Post

My connections have grown over the past few months so let me re-introduce myself. 👋 Hi, I’m Eryka. Mechanical Engineer, Creator of The Unforgettable Engineer Community, Wife, and Mom of 5 who loves Nollywood movies, herbal teas, belly dancing, and hiking adventures. ❤️🔥 I'm passionate about helping female engineers attract the attention and respect they deserve in engineering by re-connecting with feminine values. The result is a happier & healthier engineer leading with her femininity, grace, and presence. 🤔 Over the past 24 years in industry, I’ve come to realize what’s missing for women (including myself) to fully thrive…a success framework that honors who she is. 🚨 The current framework of success in engineering leading to the top was designed by men for men and has been resistant to change. ☝️Not to mention, it goes against the basic design of a woman. So… 💡 Instead of feeling accomplished, she is burned out and de-valued. 💡 Instead of experiencing happiness, she is exhausted and overwhelmed. 💡 Instead of being recognized, she’s encouraged to shrink in order to fit in 🎬 The Result: Women leaving the industry in droves and never looking back. 📍My assignment is clear…provide solutions and strategies to retain Female Engineers in industry so the world gets to experience her genius and bliss. I would love to connect with you and give you access to my 🆓 e-guide…Stand Out and Get Noticed As A Female Engineer!

Female Engineers… 📣 A challenge is really an opportunity in disguise. Opportunities bring seasons of stretching, believing, and courage. It may not look exactly as you thought but it’s exactly what you need. Embrace it. Surrender to the process. Shift into your next level. #femaleengineer #theunforgettableengineer #erykatwellborn #womeninengineering #womeninstem

#DYK women make up 33% of AVLFCC's workforce? As an engineering company that develops custom fuel cell stack solutions for other engineering organizations, this representation is something we're really proud of. Today is International Women in Engineering Day (#INWED), which exists to promote the amazing work of women engineers around the world. Why? Because women engineers are still hugely under-represented. That includes here in Canada, where Engineers Canada estimates women represent only about 15% of all licensed engineers. We want to draw attention to this statistic, for sure. But for us, women in engineering goes beyond the P.Eng. designation. Our women-in-engineering colleagues, photographed below, are not all engineers. But every one of them makes the engineering we do here at #AVLFCC possible. So please take a moment today—every day would be better—to talk to young women and girls about the amazing women in engineering you know. Showcase their projects. Tell stories about what women engineers have built. Describe women in leadership roles in engineering companies. Facilitate introductions and conversations. Because we all benefit when more young women and girls decide to work in engineering, too! #INWED2024 #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #WomenInSTEM #enhancedbyengineering #engineering #fuelcells #hydrogen

👩🔬 Rising to the challenges: My experience as a woman engineer 🚀 Embarking on a career in engineering as a woman has been a journey filled with both formidable challenges and remarkable achievements. From my earliest days at university to the complex projects I tackle today, every step has provided invaluable lessons and moments of immense pride. 🔧 Being a woman in a predominantly male field can sometimes be intimidating. I’ve often faced stereotypes and lowered expectations. However, these obstacles pushed me to work even harder, develop my skills, and prove that passion and determination have no gender. 🌟 Every successful project is a victory. Whether it’s optimizing industrial processes or developing sustainable solutions, each success is a testament to the power of innovation and teamwork. Collaborating with experts from various backgrounds has enriched my perspective and skills. 💡My journey has taught me that engineering is not just about technology and numbers, but also about creativity and resilience. I hope to inspire other young women to pursue their dreams in this exciting field. 😎 Never let doubts or obstacles steer you away from your path. Your passion and determination can change the world. #WomenInEngineering #EngineeringChallenges #WomenInSTEM #Innovation #CareerJourney #Inspiration

While International Women In Engineering Day was last Sunday, we believe it’s of paramount importance all year round. With this in mind, we’re spotlighting the female talent within Fluke Reliability as they champion and #EmbraceEngineering in their day-to-day role. This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kim Cipollina, Customer Success Manager at Fluke Reliability, about her passion for STEM and engineering.👇 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠 𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺? “I've always had a knack for science.

Vibration analysis is just cool. It's like giving businesses a pair of super-scientific goggles that let them see tiny changes in machine health long before they morph into big, expensive problems. It’s like being a detective, but instead of solving crimes, you're preventing them. And when you prevent machine failures, you're not just saving businesses money but also ensuring operations run smoothly and safely. But what's extra cool about vibration analysis is that it's not just about being on-site. With today's technology, businesses can monitor their equipment from anywhere. That means peace of mind for them and a more efficient way to manage assets.” 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆-𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆? “In the end, it all comes back to my love of science and my passion for solving problems.

As a customer success manager, I’m always looking for ways to help my accounts make the most of our services. It’s at the heart of what I do. That's why I decided to pursue a certification in vibration analysis. I wanted to up my game, to become even more skilled at helping my clients, spot potential issues, and solve them before they get out of hand. It's not just about having a certification to hang on the wall, but about showing my clients that I'm invested in their success.” #WomenInEngineering #IWED

Building Professional Confidence - new post on the blog with three practical tips!

"There is no demand for women engineers, as such, as there are for women doctors, but there's always a demand for anyone who can do a good piece of work." - Edith Clarke The first time I heard about Edith Clarke was during my electrical drives class, where we were learning about the Clarke transformation. Intrigued by her legacy, I wanted to learn more about her and what I discovered was fascinating and inspiring. Edith Clarke quickly became a role model for me, particularly due to her statement about the value of quality work. As I look towards my journey in engineering, I find her words valuable and here are some insights I’d like to share; - Our true worth in any profession comes from our skills and the quality of our work not from our identity. - Excellence knows no gender and that there’s always a demand for excellence. - Consistently strive for the highest standards in work, knowing that good work is always recognized and valued. - Dedication to quality work will lead to success. #EngineeringExcellence #WomenInSTEM #EdithClarke #QualityWork
