Women in Engineering (WIE) Panel Session
Mon- 25 May-2015, 13:00 – 14:00 │ Duration: 1 Hour
Free of Charge & Door Gift to Attendees on First Come First Served Basis
Requires Advance Registration
This meeting is our annual Mixer, and is open to all attendees of the conference, who are interested in supporting and advancing women in the scientific and technical field. This year we would like to address an important challenge that many women in engineering fields face: the “impostor syndrome”.
In case you are unfamiliar with the Imposter Syndrome, it’s a term that refers to successful people that cannot internalize their accomplishments. It overwhelming affects successful women in science and technology fields, who feel like they don’t belong and that all their accomplishments are simply due to luck. Most of us have felt this way at some point or another, and while it rarely cripples us to the point of needing therapy, it probably holds us back a little.
A panel of accomplished scientists will talk about what makes/made them feel like an imposter and how they deal/dealt with it. We will have a moderator that will briefly introduce the subject matter, and set questions before opening the floor to questions from the audience.
We are looking forward to seeing you.
