Wednesday 3 March 2004 at 7pm (Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, S Wing of main UCL building, Gower St, London, WC1E)
The power of two passions: mixing women in SET and engineering research
Elizabeth Cannon, from the University of Calgary, Canada, combines an outstanding research career with a strong passion to promote and support women in the science, engineering and technology fields. She is an internationally recognised leading expert in the use of the global positioning system (GPS) satellites for precise positioning of mobile phones, navigating vehicles, and landing aircraft. In this lecture she will discuss highlights of her engineering career and own work/family balance
alongside results from recent surveys which reveal the cultural, educational and economic reasons for the low take-up of engineering among girls and the paucity of women at the top of engineering professions.
Admission Free
