UX/UI Designer V.S Web Developer
To all professionals reading this post, thank you for your precious time! I just started my journey in coding (HTML/CSS/Javascript) three months ago, I love it and I experience the so-called 'flow' state when I'm coding. (definitely a great sign!) I was wondering if you could share some career advice or your experiences in the tech industry? Why did you choose to become a web developer rather than a UX designer or UI designer? (or vice versa) Thank you so much! #computer-science #computer #technology #UX #UI #WebDev #Webdeveloper #HTML #CSS #JS #Designer #Career #Coaching #mentorship #Women-in-tech #computer-science #information-technology

Will a degree in biomedical engineering help me get a career in the STEM field?

I've been doing research for osseointegrated prosthetic limbs, and wanted to know if this will help me in the future for a career in STEM. #engineering #science #math #biomedical-engineering #stem #women-in-stem #women-in-tech #women-in-leadership
How do you think we can encourage more women to pursue a career in STEM fields?
As a young lady myself, I am saddened by the lack of interest in STEM that I see in my female peers. As children, an equal amount of men and women are interested in STEM fields, but as we grow up, girls seem to view STEM as a more masculine field and begin to distance themselves from it. I believe it is important for women to be interested in becoming a part of these scientific fields, or else we are losing out on thousands of bright minds. How do you think we can best facilitate interest in STEM in girls around the world? #stem #women-in-stem #women #women-in-tech #young-adults

I'm planning on getting an engineering degree and then going into the medical field to become a doctor. Is biomedical engineering the best course of action for me, or is there another engineering field that would both interest and be beneficial for me?
I've been involved with the Math, Engineering, and Science Academy at my high school for the past four years and absolutely loved it. I love physics and I love the engineering classes offered at my school; however I've always been entranced with the prospect of being a doctor. I'd like to go to medical school after my bachelor's degree and was wondering which field of engineering would be best for me if I were to continue considering it. #computer-software #doctor #engineering #civil-engineering #biomedical-engineering #chemical-engineering #women-in-stem #women-in-tech
Due to the under-representation of women in engineering fields (and STEM fields in general), are there any double standards or certain "standards" that are expected and directed towards women?
Despite many women being encouraged to go into STEM fields, it is still a heavily male-dominated field which is a little intimidating. Since there isn't complete equal pay between the genders as well as double standards for both, I'm a little worried that my work as an engineer will be judged more or less harshly because I'm a female. I want to be prepared to face all of the expectations that are placed because of the gender gap. #engineering #women-in-stem #women-in-tech #women-in-engineering
For female professionals: Have you even encountered any obstacles obtaining leadership positions because of your gender, and if so, how did you handle those challenges?
I've always had slight concerns about being a woman pursuing a historically male-dominated field (in my case, psychology research/professorship), and I was curious what have been the experiences of women in leadership positions. Was it difficult getting where you are because of your gender? Are there certain fields where sexism is still a common practice? If you have had any of these experiences, what advice do you have for young women who may be navigating this environment? #leadership #women-in-stem #women #women-in-tech #women-in-engineering #sexism #women-in-leadership #women-in-higher-ed
