Sponsored by Engineers Canada, The Decolonizing and Indigenizing Engineering Education Network (DIEEN) is hosting an interactive session where attendees will hear from Indigenous engineers and engineers-to-be from across the country that we now call Canada. Whether in school or the workplace, presenters will recount their journeys in the engineering profession, what support they (want to) receive, and how they make space to be themselves in engineering. This session is a starting point in bridging the gap that seems to exist between students and working professionals in Engineering.
After hearing the stories of each of the speakers, attendees will be invited to join breakout rooms of two of the speakers to participate in talking circles and gather in community.
