TAI Engineering’s Post

✨ Today marks the start of our Women in Engineering themed week over on our website! ✨ Throughout the entirety of this week - to tie in with International Women in Engineering Day - The Engineer UK is focusing on the industry’s ongoing efforts to close the gender gap and celebrating the role played by female engineers. "Along with the need to inspire more young people to consider a career in engineering, attracting more women into the profession remains one of industry’s most enduring and intractable skills challenges," commented Jon Excell, editor and publisher of The Engineer. "The equation is a simple one: in the face of a widening skills gap, half of the population are still woefully underrepresented in the UK’s engineering workforce. "Despite the progress, there’s still much to do: from removing some of the bottlenecks preventing or deterring women from re-entering the workplace after maternity leave to understanding and addressing some of the societal issues that see girls - who massively outperform boys in STEM subjects at GCSE level - move away from physical sciences as they go into A-levels. "There are many practical measures and interventions that can help shift the dial, but alongside this it’s vital that we continue to hammer away at the stereotypes, to celebrate the achievements of women engineers and remind women and girls of the incredible opportunities available to them, which is why events like this month’s International Women in Engineering Day (23rd June) are so important."

It’s National Engineering Week, and today’s theme is “Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day”. In 2023, women made up only 14% of the global engineering workforce. That gap is steadily closing, figures over the years indicate an increase in the percentage of women employed in engineering worldwide. We’ve come a long way, but have a long way to go. That’s why hearing from successful female role models in STEM, like Erin Whittington, is crucial to inspiring and encouraging girls and women to pursue STEM careers #BSIengineering #EngineeringWeek #Eweek2024 #WelcometotheFuture

THE ENGINEER (UK) Welcome to women in engineering week Throughout this week - to tie in with International Women in Engineering Day - The Engineer is focusing on industry’s ongoing efforts to close the gender gap and celebrating the role played by female engineers.

It's International Women in Engineering Day! Celebrated annually on June 23rd, this global campaign highlights the remarkable achievements of women engineers and encourages more women and girls to consider careers in engineering.

In the latest Agile Analog blog post we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day #INWED2024. Christelle Faucon, our VP of Sales, and several colleagues, consider ways that might help encourage more girls to choose #engineering as a career, and offer advice to female #engineers on how to progress. #womeninengineering #semiconductors #electronics #IWED #INWED https://lnkd.in/e_KTtP95

🌟 Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day! 🌟 Today (23 June) we honour International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), a day dedicated to recognising the contributions of women engineers around the world. Established by the Women's Engineering Society in the UK in 2014 to mark its 95th anniversary, this special day has grown into a global celebration of the achievements and impact of women in the engineering field. At Doncasters we are committed to increasing the percentage of female employees in a historically male-dominated industry. While we acknowledge that there is still a long way to go, we are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where women can thrive and succeed. In 2023 we had a 2.4% reduction in the UK Median Gender Pay Gap from 2022 - 0.6% lower than UK National Gender Pay Gap. We believe in the power of diversity and the unique perspectives that women bring to the engineering industry. Join us in celebrating the talented women engineers around the world who are shaping the future and driving innovation. Let's continue to support and inspire the next generation of women in engineering! We're taking a trip around the Doncasters world and see pioneering female engineers from each region. These women have paved the way for future generations, demonstrating that engineering is a field where women can and do excel. Their legacies continue to inspire and motivate aspiring engineers around the world.🚀👩🔧👷♀️ These have made significant strides in engineering and related fields, showcasing the diverse and global nature of innovation and excellence in engineering. Their achievements serve as inspiration for aspiring engineers worldwide. Which female engineers have inspired you?

Did you know only 14% of engineers in the industry are women? And 40% of women who receive an engineering degree either leave the field or never enter it at all? Studies have shown that many women leave the industry because of the work environment. I know this post just missed women's history month, but I am hopeful for future generations of women in engineering. Even though our numbers are rising slowly, I do believe that the culture in engineering is slowly changing with it. While there are still great disparities between genders in engineering (median salary of women in engineering is still $14,000 less than their male counterparts), I have true faith in this generation to be a source of change for ourselves and future generations. https://lnkd.in/gWEzQDvA

The STEM field has historically faced challenges in embracing new perspectives and voices. In the 1990s, women represented only 9% of those working in architecture and engineering. That number has grown to 16.7% as of 2023. To understand the current state and future of women in engineering, we need to hear directly from those making strides in the field. Read more below for insights from interviews with prominent women engineers as they share their experiences, challenges, and visions for the future of the sector. https://lnkd.in/e8HQ4Jnf

In light of Women in Engineering Day, check out our blog with some fast facts about the rise of women in engineering. 🚀 #WomenInEngineering #Engineering #DiversityInTech

In engineering, women are in the minority at just 16.5% of the workforce. In fact, gender disparity is seen throughout all educational pathways into engineering. Of the 262 Engineering End Point Assessments that our team of assessors have carried out over the past 12 months or so, only 9 have been female candidates. So, today, on International Women in Engineering Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, we stand united in our belief that more should be done to highlight the opportunities for women in engineering as a challenging and rewarding career. But how can we target women into engineering? Showcasing historical and current roles of responsibility and experiences may be part of the answer – but what else should we be doing?
