Our course aims to bridge that gap by developing strategic thinking and negotiation skills in women engineers. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what obstacles have you encountered or observed in teaching this subject, and how do you address them? GUEST: One challenge is breaking down stereotypes and biases that may hinder women's progress in engineering. We tackle this by fostering a supportive community and emphasizing the importance of self-advocacy and confidence-building. HOST: That's an essential aspect of professional growth. Now, let's look to the future. How do you envision the future of women in engineering, and how does this course contribute to that vision? GUEST: I believe that empowering women engineers will lead to more innovative solutions and a more diverse and inclusive industry. Our course helps unlock the full potential of aspiring female leaders, propelling them to the forefront of the engineering field.
