On June 26th, International Women in Engineering Day, we want to celebrate all the women who are working in this field or pursuing a career in engineering. Although women have been underrepresented in the technical industry in the past and unfortunately still today, there are more and more women who are choosing to start a career in this field, paving the way for future generations. Petra Beckmann, training supervisor at Flender, shares this opinion: “I think it's important that women also go into the "more typically male professions", as this means there is much more diversity in the company. Women also often have a different perspective on things and therefore approach tasks differently.” Women are just as capable as men in solving complex technical problems and developing innovative solutions. It is important that we, as a society, recognize and support the talents and abilities of women in engineering. Therefore, we encourage all women to get involved in this field and pursue their dreams. Whether you are interested in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, or another technical discipline, your skills and enthusiasm are invaluable. “The image of the engineering profession in people's minds needs to be changed. We work in interdisciplinary, intercultural teams, you get to work with lots of people and develop new things together. It's very exciting and enriching and there are so many different tasks, there's something for everyone.” says Petra Wiersch, engineer in the sector of bearings at Flender. She also says that when she decided on a career in engineering, she was sure that she could do it and took the liberty of just trying it out. It was a good decision, which makes her happy. We are proud to support and celebrate women in engineering and therefore actively support women in developing their career at Flender. Find open job offers at https://lnkd.in/enc625x3 and grow with us, just like Petra Beckmann and Petra Wiersch! Happy International Women in Engineering Day! #Flender #WeMoveTheWorld #Engineering #Career

Women in Engineering day 23rd June! As a part of our dedication to diversity and inclusion, we would like to celebrate women in engineering, recognising both their accomplishments and the obstacles they encounter. Their varied viewpoints enhance the industry and set the stage for the future of the built environment. This occasion is vital for highlighting women engineers and the remarkable career opportunities available to them. Engineering is instrumental in moulding our world, fostering a safer, more inventive, and engaging environment for everyone. By celebrating their contributions, we not only acknowledge the significant strides women have made but also inspire future generations to pursue careers in engineering. Mentorship programs, networking events, and educational initiatives are essential in providing support and encouragement to young women considering this path. Furthermore, it's important to address and dismantle the systemic barriers that women in engineering still face, such as gender bias and lack of representation in leadership roles. Creating an inclusive culture where women feel valued and empowered to share their insights will lead to more innovative solutions and a richer, more diverse engineering community. Together, we can build a future where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive and make impactful contributions in engineering. Let's continue to champion diversity, advocate for equal opportunities, and celebrate the achievements of women engineers who are shaping the world we live in.

In the UK, the engineering workforce is made up of only 16.5% women, which is baffling to us. At Elvie, we design solutions for women and therefore believe women should be part of the solution. One plus one, right? Not rocket science. 🚀 And hey, it’s not just female-centric brands that should follow our lead. Any company could benefit from more female representation in Engineering, and it shouldn’t take this post to point that out (side-eye). Here at Elvie, we’re not only passionate but *committed* to supporting girls and women who are interested in a career in Engineering. For example, in June we hosted 20 young women (all studying STEM A-Levels) to come along to the Elvie office to meet our designers, data scientists and engineers for a boob-tastic, pelvic floor-centric practical and interactive immersion day. And peeps, they had a blast. 😍 We’ll continue to nurture and encourage the young female engineers of today to ensure the future of this field looks even just a little bit more female, for the benefit of all. 💪 #NationalEngineeringDay

See the article below discussing SWE Hartford Professional Section long time member Carol Coppa's involvement with the SWE University of Hartford Collegiate Section!
Carol Coppa '81 was a founding member of the Society of Women Engineers chapter at the University of Hartford, but graduating didn't stop her from being involved. She's still advocating for women in STEM, especially at UHart. Now other students have the chance to be a part of the movement in their college years, and maybe even beyond, just like Coppa, a senior program manager at Eversource Energy. SWE has an open house on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Tori Radcliffe '25, President of UHart SWE, shares her experiences and highlights the remarkable impact SWE has had during her undergraduate experience. "The SWE chapter at UHart and SWE as an international organization has empowered me to better myself but also better the world around me. Through SWE, I have learned how to combine my passion for innovation with my compassion for the people around me."

In honour of International Women’s Day, we asked four women to share their thoughts about this day: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲? “It helps us recognize and appreciate the achievements of women around the world. It shows support for women and girls, reminding us that everyone deserves respect and fairness, no matter their gender.” - Kaitlyn Taylor – Powerline Technician - Apprentice 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬? “It’d be helpful for women to have access to more information on what careers in technical trades are and the career paths available. I was worried before I entered the technical trades because it’s a predominately male environment, but the more I studied and learned about career options, the more the worry melted away. When I speak to teenage girls about their future careers, I always share my experience in electrical engineering. I wish to give them courage and information about careers in technical trades.” - Selina Zhu – Engineering Technologist Level 1 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞? “Don’t be afraid take that first step to sign up for that apprenticeship. Even if you’re the only one, it makes it even more special to be part of that trade.” - Karen Ramkhalawan – Engineering Technologist Level 2 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? “Be active in and vocal on promoting gender equality. Challenge the stereotypes that associate technical trades with masculinity.” - Aprileen Lamano – Certified Meter Mechanic and Tester Toronto Hydro is committed to partnering with colleges and universities to engage with female students and alumni in the skilled trades and technical programs, and support them with starting their careers through apprenticeship programs, student opportunities and full-time opportunities.

International Women in Engineering Day is not only an opportunity to spotlight amazing women in our engineering community, but also a chance to promote engineering as a career. #DiscoverE notes that women make up only 16% of practicing engineers. And that Black, Latina, and Native American women account for only 4% of Bachelor of Engineering degrees combined. We can all work to help introduce every student to #engineering and tech. #interfaceengineering #INWED2024

In honor of Women's Equality Day on August 26th, I wanted to take the opportunity to express my thoughts on the significance of being a woman in the predominantly male-dominated engineering field and to share some of my experiences navigating this amazing profession..... Women are achievers and trailblazers. Women are leaders and mentors. Women can be anything - so why have we ever been led to believe we can't be engineers👩💻, scientists 👩🔬or mathematicians👩🚀? I have been lucky throughout my education and career to have had amazing mentors and supporters who have never stopped me from pursuing what I dreamed of. However, when I used to sit in my university electrical engineering classes and was 1 of 2 women in a class of 30, it revealed that my situation may be an anomaly. Starting a career in the electrical space didn't prove to be all that different. My experience has been a small collective of engineers who had to use mask traps to pull up their hair because hair ties were not required to be supplied but were required to be worn. The same engineers supporting women-owned small businesses because it was the only place to find safety clothes that fit. 🦺 While there's a long way to go to shift the cultural norms, I have spent my time in STEM to try to be that supporter for those who may not have one. From performing science experiments to a group of elementary students 🧪and being a counselor for a technology summer camp for girls to being a mentor for interns. I've wanted to prove that if I can be here, so can anyone who feels it in their soul that it's the place they're meant to be. Every day holds a new opportunity to learn and seek out knowledge that will prove to make you indispensable.🧠 The advice I want to give to young women and girls, or anyone who may need to hear it, is never stop striving to ask (and answer) "Why?" or "How?" - the way you did to your parents when you were 9 and they just wanted to watch the evening news. Never be scared to pursue something new and fascinating no matter what roadblocks may stand in your way and find a school, company, and/or hobby that continues to remind you why you pursued this dream in the first place. 🤗 As Women's Equality Day reminds us of the progress we've made, I am profoundly grateful to be a part of Arkham Technology that provides the nurturing environment for my continuous learning and growth. It's through the strides towards gender equality that I am empowered to contribute meaningfully to my profession, embracing opportunities that empower me to thrive and excel. Thanks for reading 🤗
