Michigan State University's chapter of the Society of Women Engineers is celebrating its 50th anniversary of recruiting, supporting, and retaining women in the engineering profession.  Three Spartan Engineers discuss the evolution of women in engineering, challenges and opportunities ahead in the next 50 years, and share their advice for young women interested in STEM fields. The panel discussion includes Dayana Villagran, '21 alum, General Motors mechanical engineer; Dr. Laura Genik, Applied Engineering Sciences Director/alum and Sara Purdue, mechanical engineering senior, actively involved in Women in Engineering. Conversation Highlights: (6:05) – “I think the Society of Women Engineers has done a lot to advance the community of women in engineering.” (7:54) – “Representation is a huge thing. And if you see somebody like you, or someone who has a similar background, it can spark that possibility that you can also get there.” (8:47) – “I think you come into an engineering program expecting to be surrounded by men.” (10:24) – “One of the main things that has always stuck in the back of my head is that everyone has these expectations for you being a woman in engineering. If someone asks me what I'm majoring in and I say mechanical engineering, they say ‘Wow, that's really impressive. That's awesome of you.' And although it comes from a good place, they're often shocked and don't expect it. So be prepared for that reaction but be proud of what you're doing.” (11:46) – “I would say the biggest thing is not to be afraid.” (13:38) – “It has to start in the K-12 realm where you're not discouraging women and girls from staying active in math and science.” (15:12) – “You have to become comfortable with being uncomfortable in a situation. And when you look at engineering, sometimes you can feel like a square peg in a round hole. But the mechanical engineering solution to that is to get a bigger hammer. The square peg is going to deform, but so is the round hole. But they're still going to come together to work.”(16:39) – “I like to speak on my story a lot. I don't necessarily feel like it's my duty. I have a need to share what I've been through to show those people who are going through something similar that it doesn't matter where you come from or from where you start as long as you have a passion to do something, and you're dedicated to doing it. You are more than capable of doing that.” (17:47) – “I think there still needs to be, unfortunately, a revolution in thinking that has to be societal.” (19:07) – “Try to pull someone with you…I feel like if you bring somebody with you, you've made a difference because it's not just you now. You have somebody beside you who you've helped along the way.” (19:58) – “There is still just this overall kind of thinking that women aren't going to be as successful in certain paths as men may be. At the end of the day, you have to be proud of where you're at.” Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen.

The full interview episode with Stanford-based structural engineer Barbara Simpson — in person at the Oregon State University Wave Laboratory, a NHERI experimental facility.

What's it like to be a young woman in engineering? Barbara Simpson shares some undergraduate and PhD experiences and talks about the importance of having positive, confidence-building mentors. Now a research engineer at Stanford University, she says, “This is where I was meant to be.” Ultimately, she says, diversity in engineering makes for more ideas, perspective and fun.Follow Simpson's blog: https://simpsoba.wordpress.comAnd follow her on Instagram: @simpsobaTwitter: @StanfordEng @HinsdaleOSU, #NSFStories, @NSF, @NheriEco

Onsite at the NHERI OSU wave laboratory, Dan Zehner and Barb Simpson talk about “real time hybrid simulation.” This technique joins numeric models with physical experimentation enables engineers to deal with those pesky problems of scale. In a current project, Simpson is studying wind, wave, and soil behavior at play in offshore wind turbines — which in 2016 had average hub-heights of over 330 feet.#RTHS #hybridsimulation #windturbine #SSI #SFI #womeninengineering #windengineeringLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-simpson-9255445b/Twitter: @StanfordEng @HinsdaleOSU, #NSFStories, @NSF, @NheriEco 

Janell Nelson became an engineer because she enjoyed the individual nature of the work but quickly found herself drawn to leadership. She accepted the challenges of working in a male-dominated field and having few women in leadership positions she could emulate. However, when she was already an experienced and successful manager and found herself pigeonholed based solely on gender, she decided to do what she could to bring more women into STEM leadership roles.  Currently a Senior Engineering Manager at Canon Medical Informatics, Janell is active in her local community. She works with engineering and STEM programs for girls and young women at every stage of education, from elementary school to college. The future of STEM leadership and global competitiveness is in the hands of today's students.  Key takeaways  I've only had one female leader that was in the engineering side above me in my 20-year career. Changing the status quo means reaching back into the community to encourage more girls to be interested in STEM programming and showing them the career path is possible.  Graduation rates for female engineers are around 18%, which makes it hard. There are just not that many young women right now who have a background or an interest. Those who are interested face challenges in an industry where they may have to fight harder than their peers and may not always fit in.  Diversity is not just a matter of equality; it's critical for global success and competition. For example, if you only employ people who live in the Midwest, you only have a very small bubble of thought patterns you're pulling from. You can't be a global company if you're only focusing on how you see the world.  If we all think the same way, we run into problems such that the AI doesn't recognize everybody who might use it. A classic example was AI which couldn't see the facial features of somebody who wasn't white. That's a problem. That's why diversity is not optional — it's essential.  The soft skills that many women bring are also essential to creating connections and building teams. If you step back and look at the whole reality, it's never just one team that builds anything. You need to connect to other teams and the rest of the business, not just within engineering but with support teams, install teams, sales teams, and marketing teams. Soft skills are a great asset to making that happen, and that helps the whole company.  Suppose we don't have women in leadership roles, being role models for the next generations and helping to influence how we hire and who we bring in. In that case, we will never be able to increase our diversity and increase the number of women within this industry.  To change something as fundamental as what people want to do for their career, you make connections and go to local schools. It's hard to do it globally. Kids resonate with people who show up for them.  Elementary school is the most critical time because middle school kids are heavily influenced by peer pressure, and most of the kids in STEM classes are boys. The solution is to get more girls in those classes and normalize it as a choice.  I've seen it work, even with third through fifth graders who were economically challenged and going through difficulties at home. The presence of an encouraging adult may be all they need to follow through on their natural abilities and talents. Students who I worked with in elementary school are now receiving academic achievement awards in middle school and following through with STEM classes.  You don't have to do it all yourself. An employee resource group is a change to influence your company's direction and make a lasting impact on children's lives and the future of our country.  There are great companies out there building leaders. I worked at an Aetna company. The Aetna trainings helped me be the leader that I am today. They focused on building their female leaders, which helped me understand how I should be doing things.  Quote of the show:  6:23 “If you don't have diversity in thought patterns, let's just say we're only going to employ people that live in the Midwest, you only have a very small bubble of thought patterns that you're going from. And you can't be a global company if you're only focusing on how you see the world… That's why you need diversity..."   Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janell-nelson-6376794/   Company Website: https://www.vitalimages.com/    Ways to Tune In:  Amazon Music — https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/eccda84d-4d5b-4c52-ba54-7fd8af3cbe87/disruption-interruption  Apple Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/disruption-interruption/id1581985755  Google Play — https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvODE5NjRmY2EtYTQ5OC00NTAyLThjZjktYWI3YzAwMmRiZTM2LzNiZTZiNzJhLWEzODItNDhhNS04MDc5LWFmYTAwMTI2M2FiNi9kZDYzMGE4Mi04ZGI4LTQyMGUtOGNmYi1hZmEwMDEyNjNhZDkvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M= Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/6yGSwcSp8J354awJkCmJlD  Stitcher — https://www.stitcher.com/show/disruption-interruption  YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf2zbLqmHtSHQ7u1V-Is8cA See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some people are completely comfortable at work. They know what they bring to the table, and they're comfortable asking questions and challenging the status quo. But many also feel out of place, and they pick up on small actions that only make them feel less comfortable speaking up.  Limor Bergman, a software engineer, noticed that women in her male-dominated field often struggled to feel included and to speak up at work. So she took her 20 years of experience in the industry and started coaching women in tech, with an angle toward curiosity.  How can we become curious about ourselves, so that we know what our strengths and talents are? How can we become curious about our strengths, so that we can better pinpoint where we want to take our careers? And finally, how can we speak up at work in a way that demonstrates our curiosity–not only so that we can be heard, but so that we can initiate change and show our value to those around us?  Through group-centered and individualized coaching, Limor helps women in tech reflect on their strengths, learn from their mistakes, and take responsibility for making themselves heard in their work environments.  Curious about her coaching?
