Readers Forum

Activity on SWE’s social media from late summer through fall covered many topics, from kicking off the new “SWE year,” to back-to-school tips and insights, to the WE17 conference.

Chief among postings pertaining to magazine content were snippets from the “Women Engineers You Should Know” article that appeared in the spring issue. Between SWE’s All Together blog and Facebook page, individual women engineers from this fascinating group were highlighted weekly. As part of the run up to WE17, where a digital display will bring more recognition to this year’s honorees, it is also a reminder that we will soon be looking for the next group of “Women Engineers You Should Know,” and request your input. Stay tuned.

From the ongoing series “Women Engineering Leaders in Academe” came the podcast discussion between author Peggy Layne, P.E., F.SWE, and the two women engineering deans she interviewed in the fall issue. Together with Nada Marie Anid, Ph.D., of the New York Institute of Technology, and Elaine Scott, Ph.D., of the University of Washington Bothell, they share insight, perspectives, and advice.

Also of great interest and response is SWE’s policy statement on New Interim Guidance on Title IX Protections for Victims, announced recently, and which will disproportionately impact women seeking engineering degrees.
