Survey of Engineers: Pushing Roles to the Edge of Possibility.

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.

Mentorship programs and addressing these issues can help retain diverse voices in the engineering profession. [Extracted from the article]
