Latinx Engineering Day 2020—Online
On September 27, 2020, the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and the Exploratorium hosted Día de la Ingeniería/Latinx Engineering Day 2020, a free bilingual (Spanish/English) program for audiences of all ages, from creative children who love to make things to teens and young adults interested in engineering careers to professionals curious about their colleagues’ projects. The Latinx Engineering Day event included “Meet the Engineers”—a conversation with professionals working in a variety of engineering disciplines. A video of the hour-long conversation is available for free online—no prior registration required. In the video, Priscilla Nguyen, President of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, engages in conversation with Luis Aguilar, mechanical engineer, Lockheed Martin; Christy Fernandez-Cull, head of sensors, Lyft; Emerson Malca, engineering manager, Apple; Andres Martin, project manager, ProVen Management; and Ana Perez, tech consultant, Accenture. Nguyen is a design engineer at a structural engineering firm in Oakland, California
