Institution of Kenya Engineer (IEK) yesterday launched the women engineer chapter at the Silver Springs Hotel, Nairobi. The event was attended by members of both the IEK and Engineer Board of Kenya.
This chapter seeks to distinguish women engineers from men engineers and also encourage women to pursue a career in engineering.
Speaking at the launch, Eng. Rosemary Kungu, chairperson of women engineer chapter said “This chapter seeks to call on all women engineers from all over the country to come out and enjoy their profession despite all the responsibilities that surrounds them.”
“ We are proud to be launching this chapter today as it will create a place where all engineers can live together and share ideas on building Kenya as a whole,” IEK Council Chairperson, Eng. Riungu said.
He added that all issues concerning women engineers at work will be accommodated here and solved so that women can not feel left out.
The objectives of the chapter are to provide forums to support women engineers, create a platform where women engineers mingle with women of different disciplines, professional excellence, organize scholarships and award them to outstanding students and have more women engineers both locally and internationally.
