    Ep. 14 - Emphasising the ‘A’ in STEAM: How a Passion for Fine Art led to Human Factors Engineering

    Robbie Graham is a graduate Human Factors Consultant working for Amentum. Having studied Product Design Engineering at the University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art, Robbie uses his creative experience to approach new engineering problems in a holistic way, citing his development of soft skills through university as one of the most important skills you can have in the Human Factors industry. In this episode, Lucy - one of SheCanEngineer's new podcast hosts chats to Robbie about his interesting path into engineering, his community work in bringing art and creative classes and exhibitions to refugees, and his (and Lucy's) experiences of university life during the COVID pandemic. Robbie also talks about his cool projects, combining art and science to understand materials. From creating ceramics from oyster shells (growing up in in the west coast of Scotland!) to kinetic sculptures using bioluminescent algae! If you want to find out more about some of the things Robbie talks about, here are some links: https://www.ascus.org.uk/ - the UK’s first publicly accessible Art & Science Lab."3607” exhibition by artist Kexin Liu: examines microorganisms living in the human body and their impact on our sense of “self”. Named after the number of bacteria species detected in her body, the series aims to challenge human individuality and celebrate the millions of tiny organisms that make up our identity. Her work includes a soundscape derived from bacterial sequences, textiles dyed with pigmented bacteria, and a visual representation of human-bacteria interactions.”Robbie's Instagram Art Account: https://www.instagram.com/greys__gallery/

  5. Ep. 10 - Parental Leave: It's Not a 'Day Off' in Any Way, Shape or Form

    ٠٥‏/٠٦‏/٢٠٢٣

    Ep. 10 - Parental Leave: It's Not a 'Day Off' in Any Way, Shape or Form

    In this episode, we discuss parental (maternity) leave, and our guests Emma and Diana share their experiences and insights into how organisations can better support expectant parents and when they return to work. Through our discussion, it is clear that it is different for everyone, so flexibility in support is essential. Emma has worked at Thames Water for almost 8 years, predominantly within Talent Management, HR. Emma is also a lead for one of the work streams within the Women’s Network - leading on the most recent campaign which will focus on supporting women returning back to the work place after maternity leave. This is looking at ways to improve processes through a variety of different initiatives, ensuring that mothers are supported as much as possible and that managers feel they too have support in place/understand the complexities. Outside of work she enjoys time with her sweet 3 year old boy, good coffee, and long, sunny walks (preferably with coffee in hand). Diana is a mechanical engineer from a manufacturing background. She designed and manufactured consumer and domestic products for UK based companies, before making the move into construction and building services consultancy. With two young children and a Labrador puppy, she is an expert in high stakes negotiation and defusing potentially volatile situations. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! We would love to hear from you and anything you would like to share on this topic! SheCanEngineer team

    Ep. 7 - The Impact of STEM Clubs: Teamwork and Collaboration Make it Happen!

    Season 2 of the SheCanEngineer kicks off with a wonderful guest, who the SheCanEngineer team had the pleasure of meeting at the 2022 SheCanEngineer INWED STEM Day! Rose Russell is an Art and D&T Technician at the Ursuline Academy IIford, and is also the STEM Co-ordinator. With a background in Fashion, she never really envisaged a career championing STEM, and in particular, Engineering! But when she founded the academy's STEM Club, she found that students really wanted to get involved - and now there is a waiting list for it! Rose has won multiple awards, and doesn't usually like the limelight, she believes the success of the STEM Club is down to teamwork and the students - which is all true but she doesn't give herself enough credit! Listen to how she made it all happen, the impact it has had on past and current students, and despite the challenges, why it is all worth it.
