Gender Differences in ��ݮ��Ƶ Graduate Engineering Student Experiences Valerie Pablo Fri, 01/08/2021 - 15:04

Calling all University of ��ݮ��Ƶ graduate students, graduate alumni, administrators, and faculty in engineering! You are invited to a workshop discussing the Gender Differences in ��ݮ��Ƶ Graduate Engineering Student Experience, on January 25, 2021, from 1-4:30pm (ET). All genders are encouraged to participate.

" src="/engineering/profiles/uw_base_profile/modules/contrib/wysiwyg/plugins/break/images/spacer.gif" />Featuring a keynote presentation by Mary Wells, PhD, Dean of Engineering at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, the workshop will follow up on a survey distributed to University of ��ݮ��Ƶ graduate students during Fall 2019 - Winter 2020. The purpose of this workshop is to share the results of this survey, and to discuss methods and next steps to enhance the graduate engineering student experience. Breakout groups will discuss topics such as student support and resource availability, among other themes.

This workshop is hosted by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ and York University. Our joint team has been investigating gender differences in engineering for the past few years, focusing on strategies for improving student retention.

If you’re interested in participating, sign up. This workshop will be held virtually in English with joining instructions provided to the participants closer to the workshop date via email.

The survey and this workshop were funded by a University of ��ݮ��Ƶ Gender Equity Research Grant as part of the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ’s HeForShe IMPACT 10x10x10 initiative.

The Exergy Destruction Principle: Is the optimum thermodynamic system one that maximizes it's utilization of exergy?

We are pleased to invite you to our first WISE Public Lecture of 2019 with professor and WISE Member Roydon Fraser. With a focus on the Exergy Destruction Principle, prof. Fraser will explore whether the optimum thermodynamic system is one that maximizes it’s utilization of exergy.

This talk will use examples from nature to hopefully spark new ideas on how to better design complex, interconnected, energy conversion systems.

All are welcome at this free public event but space is limited. Please register to reserve your seat!
