Helloww everyone, 

I am Eryana from Malaysia. I work as a tutor at UCSI Universiti in Kuala Lumpur. I would like to connect with anyone from telecommunication education background to furthur my study in PHD. Thanks. 



Have a nice day to you all 

Thank you to everybody that has posted on this thread recently.  It's great to have your support!



Nicola Parr - It's good to know that you mentor Year 10 students!  This is invaluable.  It also makes a tremendous difference to their grades when they know what to apply their qualifications too.  This video illustrates this quite nicely.



Best wishes,

Jo



 

 Hi,



I'm Helen Johnson, currently working as design engineer at Hartlepool Power Station.  Having fun designing new and replacement control systems to keep this old power station going.  Anyone else up here on Teesside?



 

An astonishingly good afternoon Huma,

I am a retired, not retiring but very busy old woman who spent all her
working life in broadcasting and then digital technology. Hence.....my
views from there.

If we start putting gender attributes into robots we are
anthropomorphising them. We already accept all the support we get from
electronic devices without which much that I now do would not be
possible. So I do not need devices which I use to be humanoid lookalikes
any more than I want many beloved cats to be human. Surely imputing
human form and limitations upon a piece of equipment could restrict its
capability to do the required job.

We need as engineers to counter the public expectation of
anthropomorphised devices, call them robots if you like. I suspect that
we as engineers started the public expectation. Design them to do the
job, remembering that they only need to look or act like a human if the
job requires it.....and it sometimes might. But when it does the gender
concern is worrying, I still find people expressing contrary views about
female engineers. Some of this is, of course, because the title
'engineer' is so misused.

Best wishes and congratulations,

Bernadette

Hi Everyone, 


My name is Amber and I am a Commissioning Editor with the IET, working on Engineering and Technology (E&T) Reference. Part of my job involves finding suitably qualified people working in industry who are able to write about the work they are doing and the lessons they have learned. I would love to connect with people in this network who are interested in sharing their knoweldge and experience through writing or who can suggest a topic for an article that we may not yet have considered. 

Please connect/message me through the community page or email me at athomas@theiet.org if writing for E&T Reference is something you would like to discuss. 


With good wishes,    


Amber

Hello Nike,


It's really lovely to ''meet'' you.  


I'm Jo - Diversity Manager for the IET.  I am really interested to know what caused you to leave and return to the profession.  The IET is conducting an important piece of work on ''returners'' and I think that it would be useful to get your perspective.  If possible, would you e-mail me at womensnetwork@theiet.org so that we can discuss further?


Kind regards,

Jo
