Gen Y On The Forefront: Crushing Stereotypes & Blazing Trails

Discover Engineering works to ensure people everywhere understand how engineers, technicians, and technologists make the world a better place. 30 years ago we were the first to call on the engineering community to volunteer in their local schools and help young students discover engineering. Now we lead a growing volunteer and educator movement recognized worldwide.

DiscoverE's Persist Series

Conversation And Community To Help Women Persevere And Thrive In Engineering + Tech Careers

We're reimagining the possible to help women reach their full potential - in engineering and tech careers and beyond. We'll push past merely navigating challenges and surviving to pursue pathways for thriving.

During our June episode, we’ll meet four incredible young engineers who will share their stories navigating the challenges of stepping into the workforce, crushing stereotypes and blazing trails for future generations along the way.Cammy Davis is a Civil Engineering Student at Alabama A&amp;M. Danielle Lewis is an EV Systems Engineer at Cummins and the CEO of the HBCU STEM Education Run. Lilian Agyemang-Yeboah is a Life Science Applications Engineer at Entegris who is passionate about empowering others on their STEM journey. And you might recognize our panel moderator as the host of last year’s Persist Series, Andronica Klaas, QA Engineering Lead at Meta.
