The 2nd Women in Engineering event was held on November 28 by the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering.

Women in Engineering is a series of events organized by the Lloyd’s Register Foundation Center for Safety of Future Ships (Director: Professor Yong-Hwan Kim) starting in September, aiming to empower the next generation of female engineers by boosting their confidence as future professionals and supporting their career development.

The event invites prominent female speakers who can offer valuable advice and inspiration to students.

At the first event, Ruth Boumphrey, CEO of the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, and Claudene Sharp-Patel, CTO of Lloyd’s Register, participated and shared their insights.

In the second event, Philippa Charlton, Chief Market Officer (CMO) of Lloyd’s Register, visited and spent time with students, offering her perspective as a female leader.

The Women in Engineering series will continue on a regular basis, with future speakers to include female university professors, leading female engineers from shipyards, and role models whom students are eager to meet.
