Just a few days ago, we celebrated the 2024 International Women In Engineering Day, INWED. This year's celebration resonated deeply with me as I noticed a subtle yet concerning trend of regression against women, not just within engineering profession but across all fields. Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics have undeniably revolutionized our world for the better. I'm proud to be part of a community of women engineers who persist in making impactful contributions despite the gender barriers that try to hold us back. Coming from a family of engineers, problem-solving through science, data, and analysis is ingrained in our DNA, with no gender-based limitations. Decisions are made based on facts and not just the gender of who 'said' it. This has helped me thrive. Let's all take a pledge to reach out to our loved ones and acquaintances, advocating for gender-neutral decisions/career choices, particularly in Science & Engineering. It's crucial to empower and uplift 'girls in Science & Engineering,' ensuring they grasp that their potential knows no gender bounds. #WomenEngineers #STEM #INWED #Excellence #Career #Engineering

👩🔧👩🔬👷♀️Happy International Women in Engineering Day (for yesterday)! 👩🏫👩💻👩🏭 Women are still hugely underrepresented within Engineering and unfortunately in 2023, the numbers dropped to just 15.7% (a decrease of ~38,000 women). A key part of the puzzle is representation, demonstrating to the next generation that an engineering career could be for them and also that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. We are seeing more and more women leave their engineering careers from the age of 35. It’s speculative as to why this is but it seems obvious to consider that personal life must have a big impact. I was told from very early on in my career that I could not have a family whilst also focusing on developing my engineering career. That was absolutely incorrect. I am now Head of Engineering with a team of over 50 engineers, whilst managing a young family. Is it difficult? Absolutely. Is it achievable? Of course! Let’s use #INWED as an opportunity to celebrate the amazing women in engineering who are the role models for the next generation. Together we can make a positive impact 👏 #WomenInEngineering #STEM #RoleModel

While STEM careers are a powerhouse of opportunity, there's a gap we can't ignore, the underrepresentation of women in our sector. Economic equality and innovation thrive when everyone has a seat at the table, yet women remain vastly outnumbered in engineering. Diversity in these roles is crucial to prevent biases in the future workforce and technologies. Here's what's widening the gap: 📚 Gender Stereotypes: From a young age, girls' math abilities are often underrated due to persistent stereotypes, affecting their confidence and career choices. 🏢 Male-Dominated Cultures: With fewer women in STEM, many workplaces display inflexible cultures that fail to support or attract women and minorities. 👩🔬 Fewer Role Models: The scarcity of female figures in science and engineering in media and popular culture leaves girls with fewer sources of inspiration. ➕ Math Anxiety: A myth persists that girls are less adept at math, leading to unwarranted anxiety and harder grading practices that favour boys. In 2023 UCAS admissions data revealed that only 19% of applicants for engineering and technology degrees were women. We're working to bridge this gap, but we need your voice. Share your thoughts or tag a woman in STEM who inspires you. Let's champion the change-makers levelling the playing field. Fostering diversity isn't just a 'nice to have' It's essential for a balanced and far-reaching engineering landscape.
