  • Spotlight: You’re Invited

    “I want you to know that everyone in the company is thinking about you and cares about you.” That’s what the president of the first company Dr. Elizabeth Croft ever worked for told her on December 6, 1989 after finding out about the École Polytechnique Massacre. That simple action helped Dr. Croft feel welcome as an engineer and set her on a lifelong mission to make others feel welcome too.

eng•cite is the working name of the Goldcorp Professorship for Women in Engineering at UBC. The Professorship – established in 2014 – is a vital aspect of the UBC Faculty of Applied Science’s efforts to promote the engineering field to young women, to meet its goal to increase female enrollment in Engineering to 50% and to address a national shortage of engineers expected by 2020.

The Goldcorp Professorship is a catalyst of change for the engineering field, with a commitment to help UBC become the national leader for gender diversity in engineering. Dr. Sheryl Staub-French, who holds the Professorship, works with teachers, counsellors, parents and high school students to promote engineering education, and provide mentorship and role models for young women who might not otherwise consider or pursue engineering education and careers.
