Today is International Women in Engineering Day! (INWED)
International Women in Engineering Day, brought to you by Women's
Engineering Society (WES), will celebrate its 9th year today on
June 23,
2022. Figures as of June 2021 show that 16.5% of engineers are women, and
because of this, INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when
they are still hugely under-represented in their professions. As the only
platform of its kind, it plays a vital role in encouraging more young women and
girls to take up engineering careers. For local INWED events, please visit the
online event listings.

New Report Explores the Experiences of Indigenous Engineers
A new report commissioned by Engineers Canada and completed by Big River
Analytics about Indigenous inclusion in engineering explores the experiences of
Indigenous engineers in three provinces from their formative years, including
their upbringing and early education, through to their professional
experiences. The report's authors undertook a survey of the membership of
three engineering regulators who volunteered to participate in this pilot
research project: Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, Engineers and
Geoscientists BC, and the Association of Professional Engineers and
Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS). To read the whole report, please read
