National Engineers Week is February 16-22, 2025. For the eighth consecutive year, Intel and the Portland Metro STEM Partnership are partnering with the Hillsboro School District to bring hands-on engineering design learning to 4th grade classrooms across the district. On February 19, 20, and 21, volunteers from Intel and other AM-TECH partner companies will join classrooms to support students as they engage in an exciting engineering design challenge that aligns with grade-level science standards. The visits will include hands-on design time, volunteer discussions, and opportunities for volunteers to share their passion for engineering.Fourth grade is a pivotal time for STEAM learning because research shows that one-third of students lose interest in science by the fourth grade and that a child's interest in STEAM is largely formed by the time they reach upper elementary and middle school. The same research also finds that early exposure to STEAM, especially for girls, makes students more likely to succeed in science and pursue STEAM fields in college. To that end, there is a specific day designated for girls during Engineering Week: Thursday, February 20 is Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day! Learn more and access resources in the flyer on our website. Look for pictures of this popular and engaging event in next week's Hot News. Our featured events took place at Oak Street Campus and Hillsboro Online Academy's high school program. Oak Street Campus serves HSD students through age 21, with the goal of supporting their journey to complete and receive a high school diploma. Sixteen OSC students had their artwork displayed at the Hillsboro Civic Center Gallery from January 7 to February 14, 2025. Showcasing emerging creativity and unique perspectives, the wide range of styles, media, and imagery feature works with themes as varied as self-portraits, cityscapes, flora and fauna, and landscapes. Each artwork represents a step toward self-understanding and self-expression. Meanwhile, their campus-mates at Hillsboro Online Academy hosted a Careers in Criminal Justice and Public Service Night on Wednesday, January 29. This special event was arranged by Social Studies and Criminology CCP teacher Dee Moore, and featured a panel discussion with professionals from various career fields who shared their insights and experiences with students.

New data published by LinkedIn to coincide with Engineers Week provides insights into the Irish software sector derived from software engineers in Ireland who are active on LinkedIn. It reveals what Irish software professionals value most when evaluating new job opportunities. Almost seven in ten (69%) software engineers in Ireland ranked flexible work arrangements as the biggest motivating factor when switching jobs, higher than salary and benefits (61%). The third most important factor signalled by the research participants is a healthy work-life balance, flagged by 61% of respondents. Demand for software engineers in Ireland outstrips supply, with a steady flow of talent coming into the country. LinkedIn's data shows that the top five sources of talent for the Irish software sector are India, the UK, Brazil, Turkey, and the Netherlands, respectively. Given the level of demand for software engineers in the country, one issue that should be addressed in order to create a larger pool of talent is tackling the gender divide. In Ireland, a staggering 83% of software professionals are male, with just 17% female. Digging deeper into the data, it appears that there is a glass ceiling in the sector, with women holding proportionally more junior roles. LinkedIn's analysis shows that women's share of non-leadership roles is distinctly higher than their overall representation in the sector, suggesting that the balance could shift further in years to come - Junior Software Engineer (22%), Associate Software Engineer (28%) and Software Engineer Intern (30%). LinkedIn's data also revealed the top employers in the Irish software sector, with Workday, Amazon Web Services, Ericsson and Mastercard ranking among the top five employers of software engineers. Over the past year, the highest levels of recruitment were recorded by Workday, Mastercard and Fidelity Investments. Ireland's third-level institutions play a significant role in providing talent to the industry. The largest provider of talent is Technological University Dublin, followed by UCD, Trinity College, Dublin City University and the University of Galway, respectively. Commenting on the analysis, Deirdre Hogan, Senior Engineering Manager at LinkedIn, said: "Demand for software engineers in Ireland continues to soar. In order to bolster supply, we need to address the gender imbalance in the industry, with women only accounting for 17% of professionals in the sector. If the industry can shift the dial in this regard, then a sustainable flow of talent can be established to meet the needs of employers." "One factor which may help to address the gender divide for software engineers is hybrid working. Anecdotally our research would seem to indicate that it is a jobseeker's market for software professionals in Ireland, as flexible working is the main driver for software engineers when switching roles - in contrast to most sectors where salary remains the primary motivator. Offering flexibility can boost a company's ability to attract talent, with a work culture that accommodates people's individual needs, broadening an employer's potential pool of candidates in the process."

Intel and the Portland Metro STEM Partnership once again celebrated National Engineers Week by connecting with fourth-grade students in the Hillsboro and Beaverton School Districts to spark their imagination and interest in the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) fields with an engaging, hands-on activity.  On Thursday and Friday, Feb. 22 and 23, over 350 Intel volunteers visited 90 fourth-grade classrooms in the two districts to conduct the Pop Fly activity, which uses the same design thinking and methodology as the world's top innovators.  In this activity, students worked in small groups with their adult mentors to create a lever that launches a Ping-Pong ball into the air using paint stirrers, a wooden block, a small paper cup, and duct tape. Students learned about fulcrums, levers, force, and more in an age-appropriate and accessible manner where everyone could find success. More: www.hsd.k12.or.us

Where was the first music concert you ever attended? Who was the artist? Who did you see this artist/band with? And finally, how did you feel as you left the gig? If you are like me and love your live music, these are questions that will roll off the tongue. For me, it was the Police. I was fifteen years old and with my best mate from school, the gig was at Hammersmith Odean, and it left me buzzing and wanting more!In this podcast, we are in conversation with Becky Pell. Becky is a sound engineer touring internationally with some of the biggest names in music. In this conversation, we trace her journey from school to a career that drew her in from her very first concert as a fifteen-year-old, where she saw A-ha live and found her attention split between Morten Harket and the other band members and the engineers working the sound desk in front of her. As she left that concert with her dad, her mind was made up; this was the career for her!Through this conversation, we gain a glimpse of what life ‘on the road' is like, explore what it takes as a woman to carve out a career in what is sadly still a male-dominated profession and hear from Becky about the pure joy of her job as she watches thousands of people enjoy the night of their lives...partly because she has done her job well, allowing the performers to do what they do to the very best of their ability. This is a joyful podcast and one that will change the way that you look at the engineers working at a concert the next time you listen to live music. So grab the dog lead and plug us in your ears, take us to the gym, or just sit back and relax and listen to Designed for Life in conversation with Becky Pell.

Engineers Ireland’s STEPS programme has called on engineers from across Ireland to adopt a school during STEPS Engineers Week 2021 to help inspire the next generation of engineering talent in Ireland. Taking place from 27 February – 5 March, STEPS Engineers Week is a week-long campaign held annually to encourage young people, their teachers and parents to explore the creative world of engineering and highlight the diverse opportunities a career in the sector can offer. The initiative, now entering its 15th year, is managed by Engineers Ireland’s STEPS programme – funded by Science Foundation Ireland, the Department of Education and Skills and industry leaders ARUP, ESB, Intel and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). “At Engineers Ireland, we recognise our future engineering innovators who aspire to solve global issues may not even be in the engineering field yet. They may be just starting out their education journey in our primary and secondary schools,” commented Caroline Spillane, Director General of Engineers Ireland. “Engineers are uniquely placed to help the world meet critical goals, including ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring prosperity for all. It is therefore so critically important that we encourage more students to engage with STEM subjects and engineering activities at primary and secondary level so that they too can progress to studying engineering at third level and be equipped to innovate and respond to societal needs both in Ireland and overseas in the future.” Commenting on the adopt a school initiative, Ms Spillane said: “We all must play our part in building further awareness and interest in engineering as a creative and diverse career choice and I strongly encourage Ireland’s engineering community to take part in the adopt a school initiative in advance of STEPS Engineers Week 2021. By engaging with your local school and delivering presentations and workshops, either in person or virtually, you too can help bring the fascinating world of engineering to life in classrooms throughout Ireland.” Dr Juan Pablo Osorio, Lecturer at the School of Civil and Structural Engineering at Technological University Dublin and committed STEPS Volunteer, is an advocate for the adopt a school initiative, having engaged his local primary school to bring engineering to life through engineering presentations and workshops. Encouraging others to follow his lead, Dr Osorio said: “As an engineering professional, I believe it is critically important that Ireland’s engineering community comes together to support and guide our future engineering talent. By showcasing the amazing ways engineers in Ireland are pushing the limits of ingenuity and innovation, you can help to spark a curiosity in a child’s mind, which may lead to future study or a career in this exciting and limitless profession.” A webinar for engineers and engineering organisations who want to learn more about how to adopt a school this STEPS Engineers Week 2021 is now available to view. Additionally, engineers can avail of a number of free resources to assist with classroom visits. For further information on how to get involved, and to help inspire the next generation of engineering talent in Ireland, visit: www.engineersireland.ie/Schools/Engineers-Week/

Why Do People Choose Careers in Engineering? Do you want to solve important problems, contribute to society, and help people? Well, then, you may want to become an engineer. At least that's why some successful engineers have said they entered and persist in the occupation, according to a recent study published by DiscoverE, an engineering outreach organization based in Alexandria, Virginia. The research was conducted by DiscoverE in partnership with the Concord Evaluation Group. It specifically sought to answer the question: What are the common factors that motivate girls to pursue—and then persist—in engineering education and careers? Thea Sahr, director of Communications and Programs with DiscoverE, discussed some of the findings as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “We're finding that the women who are staying in engineering have a really strong support network, whether that's family or friends or they have role models, that network is super important,” said Sahr. “They can draw on past obstacles. They have the cultural and social capital to get through the tough times—that resiliency, that grit that we hear is so important for all of us—and a sense of belonging. The women who feel a sense of belonging, either in their university or at their place of employment, have a better chance of staying.” So, do men have other reasons for getting into the engineering field? Not really. Sahr said DiscoverE has done additional surveys asking people what attracted them to the profession, and across the board, women and men said solving critical problems was the main reason they liked engineering. But many kids don't get the opportunity to really understand what an engineer does. That's why DiscoverE's work is so important. The group helps get the word out in schools and through other events throughout the year. In fact, DiscoverE is the backbone organization behind Engineers Week, which was established in 1951. The week begins this year on Feb. 16 with the theme “Engineers: Pioneers of Progress.” Learn more about it at DiscoverE.org. Sahr suggested the outreach is vital. She said DiscoverE has conducted surveys of 11- and 12-year-old kids, and it found that 92% of those surveyed were thinking about their future careers, even at that early age. “It's not just when Grandma asks at Thanksgiving, they're thinking about this pretty seriously,” Sahr said. Another DiscoverE-sponsored program begins on March 11 and runs on Wednesdays through April 8. Called “Global Marathon,” it will be a five-part series with stories from inspiring women in the engineering and technology fields. It's a free web-based event designed to provide actionable career advice and connect women around the globe.
