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, the NCSEA SE3 Committee was created at the national level through NCSEA (National Council of Structural Engineers Associations) with the primary goal of administering the nationwide study of structural engineering professionals every two years. This biennial survey focuses 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. Today, the local SEAONC SE3 Committee provides local programming on engagement and equity in the structural engineering profession to our northern CA membership. We aim 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 Publications and Best Practices page for survey results, the Events page for updates on future presentations, and the Committee Task Groups page for more information on our current work. |

The SEAONC SE3 Committee published a video featuring interviews with collaborators, change agents, leading structural engineering professionals during 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 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.
