To help celebrate International Women in Engineering Day we asked Rylee Davison - 4th Year Biomedical Engineering student to share her story at U of G.
1 – When did you discover your passion for Engineering?
In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day, we connected with U of G engineering graduate Emily Nichols to hear her thoughts on being ‘one of the guys.’
Queen’s Chair for Women in Engineering Heidi Ploeg and University of Guelph counterpart Jana Levison agree engineering climate and retention are forefront issues.
In a profession that prides itself on solving problems, gender equity remains perhaps the most elusive goal for the engineering industry.
That challenge is the reason International Women in Engineering Day is celebrated each year on June 23.
