Description

Despite the progress of women and minorities in post-secondary education fields such as medicine and law, they continue to face challenges in engineering and other STEM disciplines, both in academia and in the workplace. The Leadership and Engagement for Engineering Diversity (ENM 583) class develops an awareness of the barriers, biases and challenges to improving the culture to make the field more inclusive. Our contribution begins with presentations developed in an abbreviated pecha kucha format to profile inspirational women in STEM fields, followed by a panel discussion of the issues preventing parity in representation in STEM, as well as personal observations and experiences, with the hope of enlightening our community about the gaps in opportunities faced by classmates and colleagues.
