Update on the 2020 NCSEA SE3 Survey
In the Spring of 2020, the SE3 Committee conducted its third nationwide survey of structural engineers across the profession. This survey closed on Monday June 15, 2002. The survey is an ongoing effort to identify trends, and to initiate industry-wide conversations. In 2020, the committee streamlined its core questions regarding career satisfaction, compensation, and work-life balance. New to the survey were questions regarding challenges in retention and recruitment of engineers, work flexibility before and after COVID-19, and perception of the profession compared to other STEM careers among other topics. The NCSEA SE3 Committee is publishing a series of topic briefs for the 2020 Survey. They can be found on the national SE3 site, on our publications page. |

The SEAONC SE3 Committee is thrilled to announce that the new SE3 video documentary has now been published! This video features interviews with collaborators, change agents, leading structural engineering professionals on the day of the May 2019 SEAONC SE3 Symposium in San Francisco, California.
Whether you're just starting your career, or have been practicing structural engineering for 20+ years, it is important to understand what you can do to make a positive impact on your career and to contribute to the advancement of this profession.
Whether you're just starting your career, or have been practicing structural engineering for 20+ years, it is important to understand what you can do to make a positive impact on your career and to contribute to the advancement of this profession.
This event was attended by 120 practicing structural engineering professionals from all over the nation. The 2018-2019 SE3 Committee co-chairs, Zahraa Saiyed and Hayley Dickson, and SE3 co-founder Natalie Tse, would like to thank this year's 24 sponsors for their generous donations, support and advocacy of the SE3 Project Mission, and to the dedicated SE3 committee leads and core members and volunteers for their continuous commitment to the advancement of the structural engineering profession.
This video was created by filmmaker, Conor Hagen, based in Northern California, and director at Red Lady Films.

What is SE3? |
The Structural Engineering Engagement and Equity (SE3) Project was established with the mission of improving engagement and equity in the structural engineering profession in order to provide meaningful input on improving both of these metrics within the industry.
The project began in 2015 when SEAONC (Structural Engineers Association of Northern California) funded a committee to study engagement and equity in the structural engineering profession. In 2016, this group administered their first national survey of over 2,100 structural engineering professionals. Findings from this study included insight into why engineers leave the profession, the importance of mentorship, and the existence of a nuanced gender pay gap. The results of this study were used to develop the Best Practices Resource Guide - which you can find here on the Best Practices page. In mid-2017, an SE3 Committee was created at the national level through NCSEA (National Council of Structural Engineers Associations) with the primary goal of administering a similar nationwide study of structural engineering professionals every two years. This biennial survey will focus on measuring engagement and equity with the goal of providing data and best practices to help ensure that every structural engineering professional has a positive experience within the profession. The SE3 Project aims to advance the profession by engaging all structural engineers regardless of gender, age, experience, job title, firm, size, or location. We have affiliated groups in several major metropolitan areas. While you're here, please check out the Surveys and Publication page for survey results, and the Events page for updates on future presentations, and the Committee Task Groups page for more information on our current work.
