When women and allies in engineering connect globally, they strengthen the entire community.
In this episode, host Abosede Adewole, collegiate engagement lead for the SWE Global Women Engineers Affinity Group, is joined by Banisha Prinja, lead-elect, and Eshika Mahajan, professional development lead, to discuss how they have built relationships with engineers around the world and the benefits they have gained from these global connections.
They open up about their experiences as women in STEM, from navigating industries where they were the only women in the room to finding commonalities across their experiences in Nigeria and India.
Hear why a global perspective matters at the local level, what to do when you don’t “feel ready,” and how participating in SWE’s Global Women Engineers Affinity Group has grown their networks and leadership skills.
