Abstract

A recent survey of engineers conducted by the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) suggests that the engineering profession is moving towards more equality and equal representation for women and men. However, systemic barriers still limit women's participation and slow the transition. The survey found that some talented engineering professionals are leaving the field to pursue other lines of work. The report also highlighted challenges faced by women engineers, including fewer opportunities for field work and feeling disrespected and undervalued by managers or coworkers. Mentorship programs and addressing these issues can help retain diverse voices in the engineering profession. [Extracted from the article]
