Special session - Not many women in engineering - So why should I care? Bridging gender gaps and stereotypes

As a group, we will explore issues related to the fact that engineering and computer science is still very much a male dominated profession. We will explore these issues through a process of reflection and challenge. An interactive format will be utilized with attendees assigned to smaller discussion groups each led by a facilitator. Facilitators will be both female and male. A series of open-ended questions will serve as the starting point for the discussions with each group then asked to report back to the entire session as a whole.
