School of Engineering at Hokkaido University, with the cooperation of The Hokkaido Shimbun Press and Dentsu Hokkaido Inc., and partner companies both within and outside of Hokkaido, has launched a project called "We are Engine. --Female engineers are the engine of the world-" with the aim of increasing the number of women who aspire to become engineers.

 

The "We are Engine" project aims to increase the proportion of women in the engineering field by highlighting women who are active in the field and visualizing role models for junior and senior high school students. Furthermore, it aims to promote innovation in companies and universities and strengthen the industrial competitiveness of Japan.

 

6月13日(金)には記者発表会を開催し、多くの報道関係者の方々にご参加いただきました。また、6月23日(月)の「国際女性エンジニアの日」にあわせて、本プロジェクトの見開き広告(30段)を北海道新聞朝刊に掲載しました。
