The Stars Are Back ⭐ Continuing from last week's International Women's Day, tune in to hear the perspectives and thoughts of our junior engineers on the field of engineering. We're paving the way for a future where all women can undoubtedly achieve their full potential. This is what we asked them.... Ever wondered what engineers actually do? Do you happen to know any engineers personally? What do you think are the essential skills for engineers? Can women make great engineers, in your opinion? Are you considering a career in engineering? If so, which industry interests you the most? Alana Hopper Barry McMenamin Mark Doherty Kieran Hegarty Patrick Brian Terex Corporation

From aspiring engineers to leaders in their field, women share what it means to follow their engineering ambitions. Being in a field that is largely comprised of men, women can face challenges along the way to becoming a professional engineer. Hear what inspired them to pursue their career path and what advice they have for the next generation of women in engineering. #womeninengineering #womeninhistory https://lnkd.in/e_NcG73i

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.

So neat to be included in this book!

Happy International Women in Engineering Day! Collins Engineers would like to highlight the talent and hard work of women engineers, and inspire the next generation of leadership across the field of engineering. Read below for some advice from a few of our engineers for anyone who may be interested in this field of work. #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #STEM #Engineering

Advocating for Equity: Sophie Palmer’s Engineering Journey In the engineering arena, battles for equality are fought every day. Sophie Palmer stands front and center in this challenge. Specializing in mechanical engineering at Cal Poly, she’s faced down bias but remains undeterred. 💪🎓 Sophie's set on a path to not just succeed personally but to empower women engineers, fostering an environment where they’re judged by talent, not stereotypes. Her mission is to ensure the next generation looks up to strong, competent women engineers. A big shout out to Cal Poly SWE for their incredible volunteer work, and to Brian Barnes, the teacher who sparked Sophie’s passion for engineering. Remember: perseverance and resilience are key. Sophie exemplifies these traits, and she’s just getting started. #WomenInEngineering #EquityInSTEM #EngineeringEducation

🌍✨ Celebrating Women Leaders in Engineering ✨👩💼 On International Women in Engineering Day, EFCA proudly celebrates the remarkable achievements and #leadership of women in our industry. Female engineers play a vital role in shaping the future of consulting engineering firms worldwide. At EFCA, we recognise the significant contributions of female engineers who bring diverse perspectives, innovative solutions, and exceptional leadership qualities to our sector. Their expertise in communication, motivation, and talent attraction not only enhances technical excellence but also fosters environments of inclusivity and collaboration. This year's theme, "Engineering Enhances Life," highlights how women's insights and expertise enrich our profession and positively impact society. From pioneering new #technologies to advocating for #sustainable practices, female engineers are driving meaningful change across the globe. As a federation committed to promoting #diversity and equal opportunity, EFCA stands united with our colleagues at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), IABSE - International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, and FIDIC - International Federation of Consulting Engineers in advocating for a more inclusive engineering profession. Together, we strive to create environments where every individual—regardless of gender, age, or background—can thrive and contribute to building a sustainable future. EFCA also supports the aims of Directive 2022/2381 on #genderbalance, which calls for minimum numbers of women on the Boards of listed companies, aiming to achieve greater gender diversity and equity in corporate governance. Today, we salute all the talented women engineers whose dedication, creativity, and leadership inspire us daily. Your achievements not only advance our industry but also inspire future generations of engineers to pursue their passions fearlessly.
