“Celebrating Global Diversity Awareness Month – A Tale of 2 Global Engineers” was written by SWE members Claudia Berdugo and Archana Suryawanshi.
Many factors motivate individuals to move across countries and get immersed in new cultures and traditions. Some of those reasons include enhancing career opportunities, getting a degree, volunteering, or learning new languages and skills, among others. According to the United Nations International Migration Report of 2019, nearly 272 million people live in a country other than their country of birth – an increase of 77% since 1990. Migration has then become a tool to carry new skills and perspectives into the engineering workforce. On the industrial side, companies extend beyond borders by expanding operations in other countries and offering services that meet each country’s population’s needs. This enterprise often involves finding skilled personnel in another country, training, and dynamic leadership to ensure that the company vision is aligned globally.
In celebration of Global Diversity Awareness Month, the SWE Global Women Engineers Affinity Group leaders Claudia Berdugo (lead) and how hard is computer science (co-lead) share how embracing global diversity has been a critical factor in their engineering journey!
