APPENDIX A:
THE CANADIAN COMMITTEE ON WOMEN IN ENGINEERING
The Canadian Committee on Women in Engineering was formed in February 1990 under an Industrial Adjustment Agreement of Employment and Immigration Canada. Industry Science and Technology Canada initiated its formation. The main signatories to the agreement are the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers, the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, and the Canadian Manufacturers' Association.
ACTIVITIES
The Committee undertook to identify barriers and bridges to the participation of women in engineering by holding six regional public forums. The Ottawa Public Forum was held in Ottawa on September 12,1990; the West Coast Forum on November 16,1990; the Montreal Forum in Montreal on January 29,1991; the Prairie Region Forum in Regina on February 26,1991; the Ontario Public Forum in Toronto on March 6,1991; and the Atlantic Region Forum in Halifax on March 26,1991. Over 160 briefs were presented by elementary and secondary school educators, engineering deans and professors, representatives of associations of professional engineers and employers of engineers, as well as male and female engineering students and engineers. The CCWE received over 40 private submissions from women who shared their experiences as engineering students and engineers.
To determine effective practices to recruit, retain and advance the careers of women engineers, the Committee commissioned a study of seven faculties of engineering and six workplaces. The purpose of the research was to determine what practices have greater success recruiting and graduating female engineering students in universities, and which policies and practices are effective in recruiting and advancing the careers of female engineers. The findings were consistent with the statements made by the participants in the public forums.
The research sites were the University of Alberta, University of Guelph, University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, École Polytechnique, Université Laval, the University of New Brunswick, Nova Corporation Ltd., Canadian National, Hydro-Québec, IBM Canada Ltd., Energy Mines and Resources Canada and the New Brunswick Department of Transportation.
In May 1991, the CCWE held a national conference in Fredericton. Over 240 Canadians, one-third of them men, participated in the conference. In workshop sessions, the participants evaluated and expanded our initial recommendations.
The Committee also sought input from 20 key stakeholders at a one-day meeting in Ottawa in September 1991. They represented elementary and secondary school educators, universities, employers and professional associations. The participants helped identify reasonable objectives and time-frames and suggested ways to monitor implementation.
