摘要：In an effort to work towards the 30 by 30 goal established by Engineers Canada [1], the Committee for Increasing the Participation of Women in Engineering (CIPWIE), an operating committee of Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, developed a Mentorship Program aimed at providing female engineering students with an opportunity to connect with female professional engineers to help provide a vision of what a career in engineering might look like. The CIPWIE Mentorship Program paired 35 female engineering students (between their second and fifth year of studies) with 33 female professional engineers through both a formal (eventdriven) and informal program carried out over the 2015/16 academic year. Surveys were used throughout the pilot program to participant feedback. Results of these surveys indicate that the program was a success with over 90% of participants indicating that they would reapply to the program in future years.
