Inspiring women in Engineering!🎉 Listen to the interview with Kat Draper here👇 #mottmacdonald #womeninengineering
Research from the Royal Academy of Engineering says 57% of women engineers drop off the register of professional engineers before the age of 45, compared with 17% of men engineers. Chartered civil engineer, Kat Draper, joined Constructive Voices to delve into her experience as a woman working in the construction industry for over 15 years. They explore: 🔹 How we can better support women in the workforce 🔹 Changes the industry requires for better #diversity and #inclusion 🔹 Ways we can attract more women to the world of #engineering and inspire the next generation Listen to the first episode in the series, focusing on women in the #BuiltEnvironment. 👇 https://mottm.ac/44IkzW6 #WomenInSTEM #WomenInEngineering

Civil engineer I Student of MSc Civil Engineering and Management at the University of Glasgow I Growing into the most exceptional Project Manager I Keen on circular economy theories I Chevening Scholar 2023/2024.
The idea of celebrating women in civil engineering is as relevant today as it always should have been. As much as it is still a male-dominated field, the role of women in advancing civil engineering cannot be downplayed. In this year's celebration of International Women in Engineering Day, INWED 2024: Enhanced by Engineering—the Impact of Women in Civil Engineering, ICE Scotland, through a networking and panel discussion session, presented how true this is at Arup Glasgow. We heard from very experienced women who have done well in the field, and some of the things they highlighted include, 1. Forming and keeping networks in the workplace and the difference this can make in the successful delivery of projects. 2. The keen attention every part of a project deserves, however small, because anything can potentially escalate and become an issue in the long run. 3. The power of committing to do things, because it is amazing how much you can achieve when you decide to do something regardless of the odds stacked against you. 4. Taking initiative. 5. Dealing with immovable deadlines on projects. 6. Continuous growth and personal development. 7. The question of flexible working and the confidence to address this with employers and stakeholders. Thank you, Nicola Blaney, Joanna Corrigan, and Jemma Quin BEng CEng MICE for sharing your experience. #mycheveningjourney #cheveningawards #ice #icescotland #UoG

Following the success of last year's events, Construction News, New Civil Engineer, and for the first time, Ground Engineering are relaunching their Inspiring Women in Construction and Engineering event programme for 2024. To kick off the event series, we are hosting a free online webinar on Friday 08 March at 11am. In light of the industry grappling with various issues pertaining to the recruitment and retention of women, a prominent concern revolves around the treatment of women in the workplace and on construction sites. Despite initiatives aimed at enhancing diversity by bringing more women and individuals from varied backgrounds into construction and engineering, the majority of the industry is white and male. There is a risk that work behaviours, decision-making processes and the overall work culture may be influenced by unconscious bias, impacting the decision-making landscape. This bias often results in women feeling that the sector is unsuitable for them due to inappropriate behaviour, discriminatory comments and the use of language that is not conducive to an inclusive environment. To tackle these challenges, the industry is increasingly embracing unconscious bias training and a better understanding of the issues at hand. During this webinar our panel of experts will discuss tackling implicit bias, how we can all identify our biases, and EDI policy to improve these challenges within our workplaces.

It is always encouraging to hear stories from fellow women in engineering. We are still in the minority but that is slowly changing year on year, as the number of women working within the engineering industry steadily increases. It is great to hear ideas on how we can support the continued growth of women working in STEM and indeed support each other within the industry. What further support would you like to see for women in engineering or in other industries where they are still in the minority? https://lnkd.in/eeDwQzi8 #DifferentMakesADifference #TogetherMakesADifference

💭 Ahead of International Women in Engineering Day tomorrow, Perega Limited’s Eleana Savvidi and Monika Rogers discuss the state of play for female professionals in the structural engineering sector. "There’s no doubt progress has been made, with the number of female engineers in the UK modestly increasing since I entered the profession in 2013, said Savvidi. "However, the devil’s in the details. "While official statistics suggest the percentage of women in engineering is higher than it was years ago, according to Engineering UK, it has fallen from 16.5 per cent in 2022 to 15.7 per cent in 2023. What’s more, the long-term increase doesn’t represent all engineering and certainly doesn’t appear to be the case for civil and structural engineers." Rogers added: "With ongoing planned large infrastructure projects and other planned building schemes straining the already stretched workforce, attracting and retaining more women in engineering will offer a means to tackle the burgeoning skills shortage. If it invests in the futures of talented women, the engineering community will have access to a more diverse and versatile workforce, bringing both numbers and innovation to the sector."

I was recently asked what the biggest challenge in my career has been. Unfortunately, my answer is the fact that I am a female. I have been dismissed by superiors, held to unachievable standards, been given unwanted and sexist advice, been teased inappropriately, and other negative experiences solely for being a female engineer. I am fortunate to work for a company that empowers me and sets me up for success. I have never been denied opportunities with nor been disrespected by CONSOR Engineers due to my gender, and I hope to continue the trend with future female engineers. The biggest advice I can give any future Civil Engineer is to find a company that empowers you and supports you for being you.
In 1980, women made up just 5% of individuals working in architecture and engineering. But how far have we come today? As of 2023, women make up 16.7% of workers in this industry. While that percentage has more than tripled since the 80s, there’s more to be done to increase that representation. And with a projected average of 21,000 openings for civil engineers each year for the next decade, we need more women to see their future in engineering! For this Women's History Month, let's take a moment to recognize the ways women have been breaking barriers and building bridges (sometimes literally) in what has historically been an industry primarily occupied by men. SCROLL for surprising stats and perspectives of a few women leaders at Consor. 🤔➡️ To the women leaders, engineers, construction managers, inspectors, and MANY other professionals who make our work possible—thank you for blazing trails for the next generation. 💪🎉 Thank you to Noelle Ziobro, Erika Schuyler, E. Gayle Grady, and Zina Schwartz for sharing your perspectives! #womenshistorymonth #womeninSTEM #womeninengineering #civilengineering Stats from Society of Women Engineers (https://lnkd.in/gaFJjQXt), US Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://lnkd.in/gQW3Eu-r) and (https://lnkd.in/g5NAUUQv), American Society for Engineering Education (https://lnkd.in/gm7RNAcJ), Center for Construction Research and Training (https://lnkd.in/e8h9fQN), and Institute for Women’s Policy Research (https://lnkd.in/g54CS-RA).
