Women in Engineering Panel Discussion – Virtual

Join us for a one-hour virtual panel discussion during National Engineers Week, hosted by Sarah Ostadabbas, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the Women in Engineering program at Northeastern. Following last year’s successful focus on career challenges and helpful resources, this year’s panel will explore the personal and professional experiences of women in engineering more deeply.

The panel will feature a female faculty and students from various engineering disciplines and career stages—from undergraduates to postdocs. This year, we’re excited to include participants from multiple campuses, enhancing the variety of perspectives shared. See their bios on our official event page.

The discussion will center around three pivotal questions:

• Personal Journey in Engineering: What inspired you to choose your discipline within engineering, and what impact do you believe it has?
• Career Crossroads: Could you share a pivotal moment when you faced a significant career decision? How did you approach this challenge, and what resources were most helpful?
• Vision for Growth: How do you envision growth in your engineering career, and what steps are you taking to realize your future goals?

Registration is required to join this enlightening conversation, which promises to inspire and inform attendees.
