Lehigh Engineering: Making Women Engineers Feel Welcome, Represented, and Seen with Prof. Christina Haden


Listen Later

 "It took me a long time to find my voice in engineering," says Christina Haden, professor of practice in the department of mechanical engineering and mechanics.

According to data from the American Society for Engineering Education, just 21.9 percent of engineering bachelor's degrees were awarded to women in 2018. Haden wants to change that. She helped create Lehigh Women Engineers, a three-day experience that is part of Lehigh's preLUsion program, and designed for self-identifying women. This episode features the faculty, staff, and student voices of this unique and important program that works to break stereotypes, expose imposter syndrome, forge friendships, and make all women feel welcome, represented, and seen as engineers.

Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.
