Strathclyde’s Women+ in Engineering Society is putting on a series of events this month to discuss different topics related to Ethical Engineering: climate change, white saviourism, inclusion, and feminism. These events are open to all, and attendance to more than one is encouraged! We will be building our personal ethical frameworks as it applies to engineering with important lessons and conversations about each specific topic.

Our first event is The Climate Crisis – What could, and should engineers do? It will be this coming Tuesday 16th November, from 17:00-18:30 and we’d love to see you there! We will have an interdisciplinary panel of ethicists and engineers to discuss how our values can inform our design decisions and our role in fighting the climate crisis. Everyone is welcome to come along and participate in a productive conversation.

The series includes these other events:

Nov 22: Decolonising Engineering: Ethical Development Projects

Getting proactive about our roles in salvationist and patriarchal systems and learning to counteract them.

Dec 2: Intersectionality and Inclusion: Who gets to be an engineer?

Going beyond “why is diversity important”, a panel will discuss what inclusion truly means and practical steps of how to achieve it.

Dec 7: Feminist Engineering: Keynote by Dr Donna Riley

Challenging traditional notions of engineering education.

Sign up and block the time off on your calendars! It’s going to be a great series.

IEEE WIE UKI goal is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally. We envision a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity. IEEE WIE UK and Ireland through the Ambassador Scheme are calling women in engineering to participate in a technical, inspirational and empowering session tagged “EARLY CAREER TALK”. The first IEEE WIE UKI “EARLY CAREER TALK” event was successfully held on April 8th and October 16th of this year. It has attracting attention from both academia and industry.

This third event converges the novel (state-of-the-Art) research areas in Engineering, establishing networking/collaboration links, exploring new research opportunities for developing interactions between Academia, Industry and Government fostering economic and social development.

Criteria for who should apply and how to apply:

This session welcomes speakers/presenters from any part of the world who are:

• PhD students close to graduation and have published papers in respectful
conferences/journals.

• Engineers who have participated in innovative projects.

This programme supports women from academia or industry who have been in an
industry/postgraduate position for less than 10 years.

When applying, include the following information:

1. Area of career (academia/industry);
2. Research interests or work field;
3. What the talk about (100-word),
4. Speaker bio (including links and web pages with photo).

Workshop details:

• The call for Third Event of ‘Early Career Talk’ closes Nov 20 th, 2021
  The Session will be held and delivered virtually on Saturday Dec 11 th, 2021, at 11 am.
• If you would like to participate in this exciting workshop, please email the documents required to Dr.
  Nagham Saeed (IEEE WIE UKI Ambassadors Network lead) on [email protected].
• Recommended email title is: “Opportunity to participate in Early Career Talk”.

We look forward to receiving your submission.

This event has been joint organised by IEEE Women in Engineering UK & Ireland (WIE UKI) Chapter and CONFIRM, the Science Foundation Ireland funded research centre for Smart Manufacturing based at the University of Limerick.

Overview:

Much international research indicates that women are significantly underrepresented in many STEM fields, particularly in fields such as enginerring and manufacturing. In Ireland for example, approximately 75% of the STEM workforce are men.

This trend is seen internationally also; as per AAUW, Women and Girls make up only 28% of the workforce in STEM and tend to opt for non-engineering disciplines.

This event focuses on women who have developed successful careers pursuing fields in Engineering, Science and Technology – leading by example in male-dominant fields. It also provides an opportunity for women to share their novel research ideas, experience and skill, through interaction with all stakeholders in the research ecosystem.

20 October, 9:00 pm ET

The Women in Science & Technology: Volunteering to Lead panel includes the top female leadership in nonprofit membership organizations representing the many facets of the science, technology, and engineering industries.

The discussion will focus on why the panelists chose to pursue careers in these industries and their experiences as women in science and technology. In addition, they will explore why they found it important to volunteer their time and talent and the impact women leaders are making across science and technology.

A satellite event in the frame of IEEE RTSI 202 l – 6^th International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry “Innovation for a Smart World” Naples, Italy, September 6-9 2021.

The IEEE Italy Section Women in Engineering Affinity Group organizes its 5^th Annual Meeting, which will be held within the IEEE RTSI 2021 – 6^th International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry “Innovation for a Smart World”, in virtual mode due to the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting will be an opportunity to present the Commitment Chart ”WIE.steer2STEM.chart v2.0″, released last year, to IEEE volunteers from other Region 8 countries, sharing the objectives of WIE Italy activities and the actions taken to achieve them.

During the panel session “A broader look: the commitment of EU countries to the WIE mission”, international speakers from different European countries will share experiences and outlooks on the efforts made to promote and support women’s participation in STEM careers.

Following, the poster session GENEVA 2021 (Gender Equality iN rEsearch and innoVAtion) will be held, focusing on the best practices in managing the “gender equality” in funded projects.

Later in the afternoon, members of the “WIE.steer2STEM.chart” promoting committee, WIE, AICA, AEIT, and WWE, will discuss the initiatives and actions carried out during the last year, and pave the way to the future improvement of the Commitment Chart.

Due to the COVID-19 emergency, the conference will take place in virtual mode. Participation in the event is free of charge. Instructions for participation in the virtual meeting are available here.
