IEEE WIE Interview and Networking Workshop
IEEE WIE Ottawa, reflecting the collaborative spirit, joined hands with IEEE WIE Carleton University to deliver the Interview and Networking Workshop. The event marked the WIE teams' efforts to help prepare the students for their upcoming interviews. The event had been well planned and carried out in two stages. Professionals and hiring managers from various engineering backgrounds provided guidance and feedback to students. The event was completed in two phases, the first phase governed an interview Q/A session, and the second event was a heads up on making the right impression in a networking event.
WIE has constantly tried to be at the forefront in providing the best resources to the students to excel in their professional careers. This workshop proved to be a platform to provide exposure to budding professionals. The remarkable success was marked as more than 30 attendees participated. Stay tuned for more such interesting and knowledge filled events! #IEEEWIEOttawa

Technology Stewardship Workshop
Date: Monday, February 24th, 2020
Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Vitesse Re-Skilling Canada
359 Terry Fox Drive, Kanata, ON, Canada
Technological Stewardship is a new concept intended to
focus on the promise of technology to create a better future for society today
and avoid the negative consequences. While Technologies have the promise to
address key issues and create a better future, new developments often amplify
inequities and create new kinds of risk. What does this mean for how to move
forward?
Through this interactive 2-hour workshop, you will learn about Technological Stewardship and develop your ability to ensure technology makes the world a better place for all. You will also be introduced to a powerful tool for practically integrating these concepts into the product design/development process.
Facilitator:
Mark Abbott is the Executive Director of
the Engineering Change Lab, which serves as a catalyst for evolving the
engineering community to reach its full potential as stewards of technology for
the benefit of humanity. Over the past 5 years, over 125 organizations
and 350+ individual leaders (CEOs, VPs, Deans, Directors) have collaborated using
the Lab's platform advancing understanding and action to evolve engineering.
Previously, Mark served as member of the Executive Team at Engineers without
borders for several years.
This interactive workshop is limited to 45 attendees so as to create an optimal interactive and learning environment. This series of workshops is planned to have subsequent workshops taking place in March and April. We are especially interested in professionals willing to tryout the powerful tools and providing feedback on integrating the concepts into the product design / development process.
