For many years, Engineering was a profession dominated almost exclusively by men. That “steel ceiling” has begun to be broken by a group of talented, determined women. The Dallas Architecture Forum was pleased to present a Panel Discussion on the topic of “Women Engineers Shaping the Built Environment”. The Panel, moderated by Maria Gomez, (Design Principal at GFF Design) featured three women who have pioneered leadership roles in the engineering profession. Presented on October 25, 2024, the Panel featured Camille Barton, CEO of Purdy McGuire: Ann Piazza, Principal Emerita of LA Fuess; and Emily Zoellner, Project Manager of Manhard Consulting who discussed not only the essential role engineering has in designing and building successful projects, but also the challenges and opportunities for women in the engineering field. Topics covered by the Panel included their career trajectories, the role that engineers perform in the design process, and highlights of some significant projects from their illustrious careers. They also dialogued about how architects and engineers can successfully collaborate, innovation trends in the industry, and how engineers incorporate sustainability and resiliency into their projects. The Panelists also discussed how mentorship and active education and advocacy are vital to increase the number of women in engineering until the “steel ceiling” is completely removed. This is an important Panel for both design professionals and the general public to view. Please support The Forum, a non-profit organization, at dallasarchitec... so we can continue to present lectures and events featuring design thought leaders that educate, connect communities, and enhance how we live.
