BadassWomenEngineer Virtual Panel: How to Find Success in a Career in Engineering

Rescheduled and adjusted to focus on #BadassWomen Engineers:  April 21th, 4 PM CST // 9 PM GMT

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have rescheduled this webinar from the original April 15th date.   Julie Campbell from Tektronix will remain as a featured guest and she will introduce the community to the Women in Technology (WIT) group at Tektronix. Julie is the principal mechanical engineer at Tektronix.  She brings a wealth of experience having worked extensively for two test and measurement companies, beginning in 1989.  She will be joined by Selu Gupta, a Senior Hardware Design Engineer at Tektronix, and Jessica Dunn, a Mechanical Engineer at Tektronix. Selu and Jessica founded Texktronix' Women in Technology (WIT) as volunteers, it has since been supported by senior leadership, and has grown to Tek sites all over the world. From an inclusion standpoint, Tektronix’ Women in Technology (WIT) group is one of the more powerful engines for diversity. WIT has managed to create an inclusive community within Tek that has made a new space for women and men to learn, share, and grow through events and programs.  Being in an environment where you are cheered on for your accomplishments and included is a profound motivator when you’re not like everyone else.

Engineering is an exciting career path,  allowing you to develop your creative thinking and problem solving ability, while making an impact on the world. Engineers often work in teams to tackle complex challenges that can't be solved alone. That's just scratching the surface.  As an engineer, your skills are highly coveted, so you have options.  What makes sense to you today, may not be clear tomorrow.  What's the right fit for you now?  When's the right time to consider a different role?  We'll attempt to find answers to those and many other questions during our panel discussion with engineers in the field.

Here is what one of the #BadassWomen Engineers printed out in support of our current #badass Women Makers and Engineers Contest :
