WIE(VR) - Women in Engineering (Vancouver Region)“Networking across workplaces, engineering fields and universities.” |
Although in-roads are being made for women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) studies and professions, women are still under-represented in these fields as compared with men, especially in Engineering. What are the facts? Why is this the case? What drives these trends and how can we change them? Find out what you should be doing to drive change by listening to one womenÕs story and her recommendations for changing the outcomes for women in STEM fields and why it should matter to you and to everyone.>
