Abstract

Recent global attention concerning unfair treatment and unequal employment of women has intensified calls for change, affecting all professions, including engineering. As momentum increases, professional regulators must consider their role in this change. The author conducted a research project to examine the question: As a regulator, how can Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia lead change within the profession to increase the retention of women in engineering in BC?
