Women in Engineering: Charting the Path to Leadership

Approximately 20% of undergraduate engineering degrees are awarded to women, but only 13% of the engineering workforce is female. It is estimated nearly 40% of the women who earn engineering degrees either quit or never enter the profession.

With a panel of women engineers at every stage of their careers, we will discuss the potential factors behind these percentages and how to improve the outcomes going forward. The speakers will share their career experiences and provide recommendations for young women entering the workforce, as well as leaders looking to increase the percentage of women engineers in their workplace. Topics to include: how to find your engineering-based career path - technology leader or corporate leader and what successful mentoring looks like in corporate and government organizations.
