Diversity in Engineering: Synergies with Decarbonization & Building Science
When: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 – 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM PDT
Join Brittany Coughlin for her presentation highlighting synergistic strategies for advancing energy efficient, low carbon building designs, alongside ideas for advancing diversity in the workplace.
Mitigating climate change is critical to a sustainable future. As the need for decarbonization grows, it is important that we expand the workforce and apply the brightest minds to solving these complex problems in British Columbia. An engineering workforce that promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion is central to this.
