The book starts literally with a bang, right as Montreal and all of Canada were rocked by the 1989 Ecole Polytechnique Massacre of 14 women, describing how the Chair program took on a frenetic pace as a single Chairholder, Monique Frize, tried to respond to an entire country?s concerns about women in engineering, both as students and as professionals. The authors first cover the program from 1989 through 1997, when the program was expanded to five regional Chairs, of which there have been over three generations by now. The book then provides synopses of each Chairholder?s comprehensive regional program to recruit, retain and advance girls and women in STEM, organized by generation, providing a unique historical view of the changing landscape for research and outreach programs to increase the participation of women in male-dominated scientific fields. Readers will find an effective model for national programs addressing equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM and be inspired by the 16 strong role models who pioneered blended careers in STEM and gender equity advocacy. Provides a comprehensive review of Canada's Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering Program; Tracks the 30-year evolution of activities to increase the participation of women and girls in STEM in Canada; Includes models for other countries to develop their equity, diversity and inclusion programs for STEM. 410 0$aWomen in Engineering and Science,$x2509-6435 606 $aEngineering design 606 $aWomen$xHistory 606 $aDiversity in the workplace 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aEngineering Design 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 606 $aDiversity Management and Women in Business 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 615 0$aEngineering design. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aDiversity in the workplace. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 14$aEngineering Design. 615 24$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 615 24$aDiversity Management and Women in Business. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 676 $a6,200,042 700 $aD'Amours$b Caroline$01736290 701 $aYoung$b Hannah$01736291 701 $aMavriplis$b Catherine$01736292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910847581603321 996 $aThe Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering Program$94156154 997 $aUNINA
