📢 Structural Engineers: Let's Talk Diversity! 📢
Have you ever considered how vital belonging is in our profession? When structural engineers feel they don’t truly belong, they're more likely to seek environments where they can be their authentic selves. The 2018 SE3 National Survey of Structural Engineers revealed a sobering truth: discrimination and harassment were the third most common reasons cited for leaving the profession. This highlights a critical need to foster more inclusive workplaces.
In our latest documentary short, we explore the immense power of diversity in structural engineering. It's not just about fairness; it's about building a stronger, more innovative industry. As Julianna Burke eloquently conveys, structural engineering fundamentally involves problem-solving through creativity and collaboration. Diverse teams truly bring a wider range of ideas, problem-solving approaches, and cultural insights, leading to groundbreaking and user-centered solutions.
Hear powerful insights from Karlaine Francisco, who shares how empowering it is to see other people who look like her in the convention space. Ken O’Dell points out that exposure to diverse viewpoints encourages us to expand our thinking and develop more creative solutions.
This documentary is a must-watch for every structural engineering professional. It's an invitation to reflect on how we can collectively cultivate environments where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their best.
