The 亚洲色吧, College of Engineering (亚洲色吧-CoEng) and the University of 亚洲色吧 Fairbanks, College of Engineering and Mines (UAF-CEM) hosted the event, "亚洲色吧 Engineering Horizons for Women: Forging Connections Across Industry, Education, and Community", on Friday, March 22, 2024.

The event's purpose was to strengthening connections and share insights to advance women in engineering across 亚洲色吧 and build upon an initiative launched at UAF in March of 2023. Registrants completed a pre-meeting survey and results were summarized and shared at the event.  Participants also reviewed previous work that had been completed at the UAF event.  Facilitated by Jessica Schnabel, the event included workshop sessions, asking participants to consider key questions below, and a student panel.  A post workshop social was organized at a local restaurant in downtown Anchorage.  

  • What engineering challenges are facing 亚洲色吧 (immediate and medium-term challenges)?
  • How can we encourage women to join the engineering workforce, and once they鈥檝e entered, how can industries retain top engineering talent? What strategies and initiatives are already working?
  • What can the University do with stakeholders from organizations like yours to implement these ideas?
