WIE Lunch & Learn: Sparking Innovation in Engineering Through Diversity

It's not a surprise that women engineers are greatly outnumbered by men, both in school and in the workplace. But a recent study by the National Science Foundation that found almost 40% of women are leaving engineering is a bit baffling.

Inventor and innovation expert Julie Austin dives deeper into the research and into history to unravel the puzzle of gender diversity in engineering and innovation, and how we can use our differences to our benefit.

Julie Austin is an award-winning author, inventor, and innovation speaker. Her patented product, swiggies, wrist water bottles, have been a NASDAQ product of the year semi finalist and are currently sold in 24 countries. Julie and her products have appeared on The Today Show, The Queen Latifa Show, HGTV, Lifetime, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX News, and the Wall Street Journal, along with dozens of TV shows, magazines and radio shows around the world. She’s been a keynote innovation speaker for corporations such as Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Cognizant Technology Solutions. She’s also been featured in the books “Patently Female” and “Girls Think of Everything.”
