Two women in engineering on a mission to openly discuss #enggirlproblems

[enggirlproblems @enggrlproblems]

We produce a monthly newsletter about #womeninengineering in the news, professional development events around #Toronto, and share other great media like books and podcasts about #STEM. Our next issue comes out next week, don't miss it! https://t.co/JiROL4JtI3

I don’t think diversity training can fix this.

Great thread alert!

I just reviewed 4 proposals for an engineering design/construction project. Each one submitted 8 key personnel resumes. Guess how many of the 32(!) resumes are females? Hint- it’s above 1 but less than 3... yep 2/32. And they were both the same firm. MORE WOMEN IN STEM PLEASE! 😑

[Avery Francis @AveryFrancis]

I asked folks in my network what it feels like to be Black in Tech and this is what they shared with me ... a thread 🧵

[Marisa Sterling PEng @MarisaSterling]

Wondering why Canada has a 30by30 project to support #women and achieve 30% licensed #engineers be women by 2030? This graph shows why: in 26 years, women’s representation in #engineering #education has increased very slowly. Proactive intervention is now needed. @PEO_HQ

@drpepperis100 The audacity

[P. Gabrielle Foreman @profgabrielle]

Not sure who needs to hear this: You are not overwhelmed. You are overextended.

[enggirlproblems @enggrlproblems]

Same questions for engineers in general- looking to open some dialogue to expand on our recent article on allyship!

Latest EngGirlProblems blog post by @AlvinPilobello about Male Allyship in the Disrupted Engineering Workplace. While originally written with male allyship in mind, we can all listen and show up more for all of our colleagues in the engineering workplace.

@katy_pilkington That's a golden rule! How about "thou shalt not hard code" as a commandment??

[enggirlproblems @enggrlproblems]

Excel is such an important skillset in engineering! Cannot stress this enough!

[Thankful Musgrave 🦃 @profmusgrave]

You don’t need to “learn to code”, you just need to “learn to Excel”.

.@NASA is renaming its headquarters after Mary Jackson, the organization's first Black female engineer. #WomenInSTEM 🚀🚀🚀

This pandemic is exactly why I hated group projects in school.

[Team G.I. Robot @TeamGIrobot]

Is it “cancel culture” or is it just repercussions

[Buki kekeré 🇳🇬👩🏿‍💻👩🏿‍🎨 @Bukikekere]

My biggest achievement yet- (NERVOUS) me in @CityHallLabour alongside directors, researchers and CEO’s talking ways to tackle inequality in stem. This is my response to #blm - working on positioning myself to internally push for change #WomenInSTEM #womenintech #BlackTechTwitter

[enggirlproblems @enggrlproblems]

Same goes for workplaces.

[Fay Lin, PhD @xiaofei_lin]

Hey faculty - when students point out the lack of diversity and inclusion in #academia, replace:

"I've been doing [xyz] to promote diversity and inclusion."

with:

"I will work to do better because the current efforts aren't enough."

You never know who’s watching your journey and inspired by your growth. Keep going.

[enggirlproblems @enggrlproblems]

@ravenscimaven We would definitely watch this 🤓🤓🤓

[enggirlproblems @enggrlproblems]

This is a great thread. Read it.
