Gender Differences in ��ݮ��Ƶ Graduate Engineering Student Experiences Valerie Pablo Fri, 01/08/2021 - 15:42

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.

How cities develop and function is the endeavor of engineers and planners, among others, however, students and faculty in these two disciplines often have limited opportunity to work and study collaboratively. At the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, we are fortunate to have a Planner- in-Residence and an Engineer-in-Residence who bring industry perspectives to curricular activities in the School of Planning and in Civil and Environmental Engineering, respectively. Both experts believe in the advantages of collaboration and interdisciplinary for the benefit of our cities and urban prosperity. This session is a first step toward bridging the two disciplines further, highlight examples of the shortfalls of working in disciplinary silos and the benefits of synergy among planners and engineers.

Speakers:
Rob Horne, MA, RPP, Planner-in-Residence, School of Planning
Michael Murray, M.Eng., P.Eng., Douglas Wright Engineer-in-Residence, Civil and Environmental Engineering

Moderators:
Nadine Ibrahim, PhD, Turkstra Chair in Urban Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Markus Moos, PhD, RPP, Director and Associate Professor, School of Planning
