This year National Women in Engineering Day was celebrated on 23 June, and to coincide with this the Institute of Civil Engineering is offering free online access to articles that address the issues of diversity in the built environment.
The Institute of Civil Engineers writes:
The second annual National Women in Engineering Day is being held on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 and looks to highlight the opportunities available for women in engineering, to increase diversity and inclusion.
ICE Publishing is supporting this initiative by making previously published papers that focus on diversity and gender issues in civil engineering free to read until June 30.
Kate Cairns, an Independent Sustainability Advisor, discusses the issues covered in these publications. She has over 20 years of experience in the field of construction and sustainability, and in bringing the two together. Kate is a Director of CEEQUAL Ltd, the assessment and award scheme for improving sustainability in civil engineering and the public realm.
