Tania Cooper MBE, our chair who is also managing director at Steel Benders UK Ltd, spoke with Coreena Ford for International Women's Day. Tania said: "As the managing director of Steel Benders UK Ltd and chair of the North East STEM Foundation, navigating the engineering industry has been both a challenge and an opportunity. Witnessing the transformative impact of women in engineering first hand, I’ve seen talented individuals break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and excel in roles traditionally dominated by men. For me, International Women’s Day signifies a call to action, urging us to continue advocating for diversity and inclusion in the engineering sector. "Inclusion is vital for a thriving engineering sector and society overall. The underrepresentation of women in engineering not only lacks fairness but also stifles innovation. With the North East experiencing significant industrial growth, fostering a diverse workforce is crucial. Prioritising STEM education and engaging young girls and families helps break stereotypes and encourages women to pursue engineering careers. Initiatives offering resources, mentoring, and hands-on experiences are key in bridging the gender gap. Supporting inclusive workplaces is essential for women’s advancement, unlocking untapped potential and driving innovation for a brighter future." #STEM #internationalwomensday2024 #science #technology #engineering #mathematics #womeninengineering

Happy International Women in Engineering Day everybody! Despite the progress made, engineering remains a male-dominated industry, with only 16.5% of engineers in the UK being female. INWED aims to provide a platform for female engineers, playing a crucial role in encouraging young women to pursue engineering. This year’s theme is #EnhancedByEngineering – profiling the best, brightest and bravest women in engineering, who have enhanced people’s everyday lives and are helping to build towards a brighter future. As we delve into the rich history of International Women in Engineering Day, lets remember the trailblazing women who have shaped the engineering world and continue to inspire the next generation of female engineers. By working together, we can work towards a more inclusive and diverse future in engineering, fostering an environment where women can thrive and contribute their unique talents to an ever evolving field that has the potential to change lives for the better.
