6:30 PM – Dr. Parhami Presents

Please join us for the 18 January 2023 IEEE Central Coast Event. Professor Behrooz Parhami will honor us with his very timely talk “Women in Science and Engineering: A Tale of Two Countries”. This talk is about a Worldwide societal phenomenon affecting Engineering around the world. Professor Parhami has personal knowledge of the status of this subject across its whole spectrum from Iran to here in the U.S. I believe that his talk will be very interesting and enlightening.

Best regards, Ruth Franklin IEEE Central Coast Chair

Topic:

Women in Science and Engineering: A Tale of Two Countries

Abstract: Despite poor retention and advancement prospects, as well as female-unfriendly workplaces and corporate policies, women continue to flock to and excel in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields. In this talk, using data and narratives from the United States and Iran as examples, I identify roadblocks to the engagement of women in STEM careers. Using the two countries with which I am most familiar as examples is instructive, because this side-by-side comparison shows that undesirable outcomes in the domain of women in STEM fields can and do occur for vastly different reasons, which I discuss.
