How to say NO to Advance in your Career

While attending SWE 2023, the Society of Women in Engineering 2023 conference in Los Angeles last October, the world’s largest gathering of women in engineering and technology, a topic surfaced as a common theme in at least three (3) of the sessions I attended:
“How to say NO to Advance in your Career”

It makes sense. Women typically say “yes” to a lot of things, even if it keeps them in non-technical jobs, over-worked, and under-paid. Since the 30-by-30 initiative by Engineers Canada is tracking that at least 30% of women earn their P.Eng. or P.Geo. designation by 2030, it is important to learn how to say “no” to non-technical jobs and/or to under-appreciated EDI – equity, diversity and inclusion – roles without P.Eng/P.Geo protection. In other words, learn to say “yes” to a P.Eng.
In this informative session, you will learn that: (1) the word “NO” is a phrase that is grammatically correct, (2) there are many traps to avoid when earning your P.Eng/P.Geo designation, and (3) saying “YES” is a valuable tool that must be carefully managed in your career.

Engineering Career Transitions: Real Stories, Real Advice | Panel Discussion

Embark on an exploration of career transitions in engineering, going beyond the ordinary narratives. This isn’t just about returning to engineering or returning from parental leave; we’re diving into transitions within the field itself—switching roles, exploring new fields, and climbing the professional ladder.
Join our panelists & facilitator, Melanie Richmond, as we share personal experiences, uncovering successful strategies that eased transitions and candidly discussing mistakes made along the way. This storytelling session is a must-attend for engineers navigating shifts, currently in transition, or contemplating change.
Expect practical insights and advice from those who have overcome challenges. It’s more than a discussion; it’s a chance for us to connect, share, and learn together. Join us for an engaging session that cuts through traditional career narratives, offering valuable lessons for engineers at every stage of their unique professional journeys.

Trans and Non-Binary Perspectives on the Gender Narrative in Engineering

Join Michelle Liu, P.Eng, JD, MASc (they/them) and Allie Kennington, BASc (they/them) as they leverage Trans and Non-Binary perspectives to critically examine normative concepts of gender, sexuality, and overlapping systems of oppression, such as race, class, and ability in engineering. This approach will draw attention to the frequent exclusion of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) identities in conversations on gender in engineering. The rise in anti-2SLGBTQ+ hate in Canada, including in professional education and practice, underscores the urgent relevance of this discussion.
