Participate in Global Survey on Gender Equity in STEM
The Gender Scan survey is an international survey on women in STEM led by the organization Global Contact in partnership with international organizations, including SWE. The survey seeks to understand the current status of women in STEM at various stages, from adolescence (pre-college) to the workforce. The survey will assess the impact of gender balance policies in the STEM workforce as well as report trends of female participation along the STEM pipeline. The Gender Scan survey is not exclusive to SWE members, and therefore, we are inviting all STEM college students and STEM employees, regardless if they are a SWE member, to participate in the 2021 Gender Scan survey. Please select Society of Women Engineers for the question “Are you answering to this survey following the suggestion of a partner of Gender Scan?” You can also learn more about the survey on SWE's All Together blog.
