This #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay we are showing some love to the women engineers who work each and every day to make San Diego a great place to live. 👏 Earlier this year, Mayor Todd Gloria met with some of these women to celebrate their work on a park project in Otay Mesa that is nearing completion. Thank you for all you do! #EnhancedByEngineering #INWED24 #SanDiego #Otay Mesa
Awesome!
Check out this amazing article from the BBC about the inspiring story of a female master mentor at Clifton Suspension Bridge. She's breaking barriers and paving the way for other women in the industry. It's a must-read for anyone interested in women's empowerment and engineering. #WomenInEngineering #Empowerment #InspiringWomen https://ift.tt/IMZ4WQ3

🌟 Thank You mavQ & Happy Women's History Month! 🌟 In celebration of #WomenWednesday, I'm deeply touched by mavQ's highlight of my journey and commitment to uplifting women. If what you gain (knowledge, support, friendship, love, etc.) from personal or professional relationships were a pizza pie (I do love a good NY-style pizza 😁), then you would see pieces with different toppings. You would also learn that expecting the whole pie in any one relationship is unfair. This will open you up to more experiences, let you embrace your surroundings, and appreciate the people who come in and out of your life. Starting my entrepreneurial career at a 5-partner startup as the only woman, with a toddler and another child on the way, was no small feat. Returning to work just four weeks after giving birth, juggling a consulting job to support our growth, and being fully present in my children's lives was a testament to the incredible support I received from my husband, family, and friends. Their unwavering belief in me allowed me to pursue my dreams, even when it meant some sacrifices along the way. Looking back, here are a few pearls of wisdom I'd share with my younger self, and with all of you: 1. Value the Women in Your Life: The strength, support, and inspiration from women around me—friends, family, and coworkers—have been immeasurable. Cherish and lean on these relationships. I have had the good fortune to run into the most amazing women. My strong friends, inspiring leaders at work, and Chief network of strong leaders—especially my local Austin Chiefs—have been invaluable. 2. Choose Your Circle Wisely: Life's too short. Surround yourself with those who lift you up, and learn to let go of negativity. 3. Choose Happiness: It's a choice and a powerful one at that. 4. Don't Hesitate to Ask for Help: No one can read your mind. It's okay to reach out. 5. It's Okay to Say No: Overwhelm doesn't serve anyone. Prioritize and protect your peace. Here's to continuing to break barriers, lift each other up, and thrive together. 💪🌈 #Leadership #WomensEmpowerment #Gratitude #CareerJourney #WorkLifeBalance
For this week’s #WomenWednesday we feature Archita Bhatt, Executive Vice President of ProServ. Archita discusses the importance of women uplifting one another to achieve success, and praises mavQ for fostering an environment where this behavior is both encouraged and celebrated. Thank you, Archita, for being such an inspiring leader to the team! #InspireInclusion #WomensHistoryMonth
I only generally share my thoughts on Women in Engineering if solicited. However, Danica Mong's post has reminded me of some of the unique challenges young women can face when starting their careers in Civil Engineering. One of the biggest ones is the misperception that you cannot (or would not want to) hack it on a site. To this, I say: 1. I had the time of my life on site. I was part of a great team, and the practical problem-solving played to my strengths - observant, systematic and people-orientated. This is also where I discovered I had a knack for understanding material behaviour. 2. No one enjoys being on site all the time. The hours are long and sometimes inconvenient, and we have all worked with that one person that takes an argument too far. (Also, even though they do not say it, not all men are comfortable with "site language" either...) 3. It is about the person's personality and where they are in life. I got on with the site team better than some of my male colleagues because I learnt not to take conflict personally. To young ladies working on a site: You will likely be asked to take minutes more often than men. Before you get offended, ensure that it is not just because you are also the youngest. Take note of the inconvenient tasks assigned to your young male counterparts - in my experience, they are asked to climb into dirty culverts and manholes more often than you are. If you also want a chance to climb into the dirty culvert - ask. Communicating your expectations and willingness to learn is an essential aspect of learning to navigate the world of construction. Give the people you work with a chance to get to know you before you give up. It is my experience that senior engineers/site staff love sharing their knowledge when they have a willing apprentice. It could also change their perceptions of young women on site, and make life easier for those who follow you. Lastly, develop the wisdom to learn when to speak up. Only some people you will work for will have your growth in mind, or grow in their worldviews. Having a mentor with whom you can discuss tricky situations and how to address them will help you succeed in this aspect. #WomenInEngineering #WomenOnSite #StellenboschUniversity #CivilEngineering
Throughout my life, so many women have stood by my side, supporting both me and my choices. I live with an immense gratitude for these women. On #National #Women's #Day, I would like to highlight these three wonderful civil engineering women who have been there since day one of my career journey. We've empowered one another and we'll continue to create a welcoming environment for all women, especially those who are considering joining the #STEM #community.

This week we continue to support women in construction at Kiewit and industry wide. This year's Women in Construction Week theme is "Keys to the Future" — and it underscores the fact that our industry depends on our ability to attract, develop and retain women who are passionate about the construction and engineering industry. Take a look at the video below for an inside look at the conversation. #KiewitEmployee #WICWeek24
As part of Women’s History Month, AHBL recently surveyed our women engineers. We asked why they pursued careers in A/E/C, the challenges they face within their field, and how the future may look for upcoming women engineers.
