Year of Engineering Launches with 'Engineering Women' Exhibit to Inspire Girls
The 'Engineering Women' exhibition is set to launch during the inauguration of the Year of Engineering, aiming to inspire young girls with role models. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote gender equality and encourage more women into engineering fields.
The new itinerant photographic exhibition 'Ingenieuses', initiated by CNRS Engineering in Paris, will showcase successful women engineers. This exhibition aims to attract more women to engineering by highlighting their achievements and challenging stereotypes.
The Academy of Technologies and CNRS have collaborated to create an ethics charter for engineering. This charter encourages engineers to question the responsibility of their industrial applications and promotes ethical considerations in their work.
The Year of Engineering, running from September 2025 to June 2026, seeks to create a bridge from school education to the industrial world. It will host pedagogical days for teachers, encouraging them to incorporate real-world engineering examples into their classrooms.
Engineering plays a vital role in environmental transition. The Utopii support and research unit at CNRS Engineering focuses on life cycle analysis to calculate the environmental footprint of products. This work is crucial for questioning sustainability, prioritizing recyclability, and managing electrical networks intelligently.
The 'Back to my college' operation will bring engineering professionals back to their former colleges. They will share their experiences and inspire students about their professions, helping to demystify engineering careers.
Despite these efforts, the gender equality index at CNRS Engineering stands at 2.42, indicating a significant underrepresentation of women, particularly in management positions. This is a challenge the industry is actively working to address.
The Year of Engineering, with its 'Engineering Women' exhibition and other initiatives, is a significant step towards promoting gender equality and encouraging more women into engineering. By highlighting the range of engineering professions and their crucial role in environmental transition, the year aims to inspire the next generation of engineers, regardless of gender.
