Structural Engineering Engagement & Equity (SE3)
Welcome to the SE3 Project home 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.

2019 NCSEA Structural Engineering Summit
The NCSEA SE3 Committee is excited to announce an upcoming national symposium on November 12, 2019 in Anaheim, California.
This half-day program is the first Structural Engineering Engagement and Equity (SE3) symposium to be held in conjunction with a national engineering conference, the 2019 NCSEA Summit. This event is for engineers of all levels, business owners, human resource managers, and anyone within the AEC industry who is interested in promoting dialogue on engagement and equity in the structural engineering profession.
As part of this program, attendees will participate in three separate sessions focused on various aspects of engagement, retention, diversity and inclusion. They will learn more about findings from the 2018 SE3 survey, hear from industry panelists on the state of our profession, and acquire strategies and best practices for improving retention within their organizations.

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 2016 Survey 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.
