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.

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 our news story.
