SUMMARY:ESE - Wellbeing and Diversity in Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming event\nWellbeing and Diversity in Engineering \nSESOC Emerging Structural Engineers are excited to host a webinar on Wellbeing and Diversity in Engineering. These are two big themes that impact everyone in different ways as part of their day-to-day life as an engineer. \nWellbeing has been at the forefront in recent times with the added pressures that Covid 19 has introduced. But wellbeing is not a new idea in a deadline focused industry like engineering. Gloria Wang and Michael Geddes will share their experiences as graduate engineers\, and some of the challenges they each faced with different aspects of their wellbeing. \nDiversity has also been a big focal point of the engineering industry as a whole\, with initiatives like the Diversity Agenda engaging with companies to commit to accountability and action in this space. Hear from lecturers Charlotte Toma and Max Stephens about why this is so important\, through the lens of gender disparity. \nWhen: Thursday 2nd June\, 1 – 2pm\nWhere: Online Via Zoom\nRegister here\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nGloria Wang\nOne word to describe how I felt as a graduate engineer: incompetent. Not loud enough\, not productive enough\, not staying late enough\, not contributing enough. I was inexperienced\, I lacked confidence\, and I doubted my ability to fit in and be accepted in the workplace. It took me two years to realise the problem wasn’t me\, I just didn’t know how to deal with the environment I was in. We’ve all had times when we just wanted to fit it\, and in the process we lose sight of authenticity. Come and listen to how my experience as a graduate influenced my sense of belonging in the workplace.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nHi everyone! I’m Gloria\, a Systems Engineer at Beca. I graduated from The University of Auckland in Chemical and Materials Engineering and started my career as a Process engineer but now work in the National Defence and Security sector. What I enjoy most about work is that we are always solving new and complex problems with people from all different backgrounds. In my spare time\, I love baking for friends\, playing tennis and binging crime dramas on Netflix.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nMichael Geddes\nOur profession\, I think you will agree\, is a meaningful and rewarding one. It is also at times challenging and demands accountability. Naturally then\, we could expect our mental health/wellbeing to be tested at various times during our careers. Graduate engineers may be  especially vulnerable to stresses as they begin to navigate the world of consulting: project deadlines\, staffing shortfalls\, challenging team dynamics and the like.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nIt is heartening to see growing awareness of mental health/ wellbeing in our industry. The aim of this paper is to stimulate further conversation in this area. Michael is a structural engineer at WSP New Zealand with 7 years of experience. Michael first presented on “mental health in the engineering profession” at the 2021 SESOC Conference. This latest presentation will cover observations on health and wellbeing in the engineering sector\, his personal experiences in a consultancy and some tips and tricks to manage wellbeing.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \nCharlotte Toma and Max Stephens\nWomen continue to be underrepresented in the engineering industry; however\, in New Zealand\, the key factors contributing to this disparity have not been analysed. This study investigated the factors that affect gender imbalance in the New Zealand engineering workforce. Barriers inhibiting and initiatives positively influencing the career progression of men and women were identified. Analysis of the results identify women are often subject to serious discrimination and stereotyping. The researchers also determined factors which would help improve gender diversity within the engineering industry in New Zealand.Charlotte Toma and Max Stephens are lecturers of Structural Engineering at the University of Auckland. This research was completed by Hannah Davidson and Lucy Devonshire in 2020. The presentation will discuss some key findings and also introduce the work underway to enact change in the Industry.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nSustainable Design for Structural Engineers\nSESOC is excited to host their first webinar on Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers. \nNew Zealand’s net-zero-carbon legislation requires all industries to contribute to the carbon reduction journey and this is no different for the Construction and Structural Design industries.  The Building and Construction sector currently accounts for around 15% of New Zealand’s annual carbon emissions (MBIE\, 2021)\, and around half of this is through the materials used in buildings and infrastructure. \nSESOC is committed to supporting the shift towards net zero carbon construction\, and to that end\, are looking for ways we can support our members to engage\, understand\, and undertake embodied carbon assessments for their projects\, increasing the ‘carbon literacy’ of the industry (and clients) ahead of the expected mandatory reporting requirements from Central Government. \nWhen: Thursday 28th October at 5.30pm\nWhere: Online Via Zoom\nCost: Free | Register here \nTo Kick start our conversations on Sustainable design\, we welcome Will Arnold\, head of Climate Action for the Institution of Structural Engineers in the UK to share the journey that the UK has been on over the past few years. \nFrom within our own SESOC Sustainable Design Task Force\, Jared Keen and Nick Carmen will then share their presentations from the SESOC 2021 Conference focussing on how we as structural engineers can make a positive contribution through our projects. \nQ and A for the speakers will run after the presentations. \n\n\n\n\nWill Arnold\, Head of Climate Action\, the Institution of Structural Engineers \nWill leads the IStructE’s response to the climate emergency\, bringing sustainability action into all aspects of its work. He is responsible for driving change within the profession\, setting the minimum sustainability standards for institution members\, producing sustainability publications and training to support this\, and collaborating across the wider industry as it moves towards zero emissions. Previous to his work with the institution\, Will was a practising structural engineer at Arup for 10 years where he was responsible for key aspects of ambitious architectural projects across the world. \n  \nWill is chair of the Construction Industry Council’s 2050 Group\, and an active member of The Edge thinktank\, the UK Built Environment Advisory Group\, and the Engineering Advisory Group for The Structural Engineer magazine. He also sits on the judging panel for The Structural Awards. In 2021\, Will was presented with the President’s Award by the Institution\, in recognition of his work instigating change in the field of structural sustainability.\n\n\n\nEmbodied Carbon in Structural Design   \nNick Carman – Mott MacDonald NZ \n Based on some recent experiences and projects quantifying embodied carbon for buildings in Aotearoa-New Zealand\, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the motivation behind studying embodied carbon\, fundamentals of LCA for buildings and typical results from recent studies\, from the viewpoint of an engineer entering into the world of LCA. \nA few key areas of uncertainty are discussed\, such as appropriate steelwork embodied carbon factors (ECFs)\, comparison between as-designed and as-constructed measures\, and whether the use of timber to decarbonise a project is a silver bullet. \n  \nNick Carman is a Technical Director within the Built Environment sector at Mott MacDonald\, with a strong focus on sustainability and  low-carbon design brought about by collaboration.  He has worked on projects throughout Australasia\, the UK\, the Middle-East and Canada\, but his favourite work remains that in his home of New Zealand.\n\n\n\nChallenges and Possible Solutions for Structural Engineers Seeking to Make a Positive Contributions to the Climate Emergency \nJared Keen – BECA \nAs the construction industry\, and the society within which we operate\, seeks mitigations to our present climate emergency\, structural engineers are seeking ways to transform from part of the problem\, to part of the solution.  In this presentation\, Jared examines the barriers that face practicing engineers in the meaningful implementation of low-carbon structures\, and how those barriers might be hurdled\, either by individual design teams\, or by the industry at large. \n  \nJared Keen is a Technical Director at Beca.  As a practicing structural engineer he has delivered major projects throughout New Zealand\, the United Kingdom and Europe.  He is the current IStructE New Zealand branch chair\, and an industry affiliate for QuakeCore.  He has a particular interest in sustainability and low damaged design and has delivered multiple timber projects in New Zealand\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Aftermath of Disaster in Christchurch - Christchurch Presentation
DESCRIPTION:SESOC is pleased to invite you to attend Helen Trappitt’s presentation\, The Aftermath of Disaster in Christchurch – Repairing\, strengthening and creating new hope. \nTuesday 1st June 6pm: Beca Christchurch \nRegister HERE \nHelen originally shared this presentation as keynote speaker at the virtual ASEC conference last year\, and to an audience in Christchurch in March this year as part of the Engineering New Zealand Ten Years On Commemorations. \nHer abstract poses the argument that the most sustainable building is one that is able to be restored and repaired following a disaster. After the Canterbury earthquake sequence of 2010-11 many buildings in the Christchurch CBD were demolished\, often unnecessarily. The presentation will focus on the reinstatement of five buildings in Christchurch CBD (complete or ongoing) which cover a broad range of structural forms and construction. Ultimately almost 80% of the built environment in the city centre was lost. But there were many other ways that structural engineers brought life back to the city. Helen will also share her experience in the development of several large scale public artworks\, which helped to draw people back into the city centre once again. \nSESOC member Helen Trappitt is a structural engineer\, director and shareholder at Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers based in Christchurch. She is on the Industry Advisory Board for the University of Canterbury Civil and Natural Resources Engineering department\, where she graduated with First Class Honours in 2000. Helen is a Director of Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Limited\, the joint venture company tasked with reinstating the city’s most significant icon. \nHelen specialises in the seismic strengthening of heritage buildings and has experience in this sector both before and after the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence.  She is also well respected for her expertise in helping to resolve complex residential insurance claims. \nHelen was awarded the Engineering New Zealand Canterbury Branch Award for Excellence in Service to the Community in 2018 for her pro bono work helping Gap Filler\, CoCA\, FESTA and SCAPE Public Art; and for her efforts in promoting engineering as a career at girls’ schools.  In 2019 Lewis Bradford was awarded two inaugural Engineering New Zealand ENVI awards for projects Helen steered. \nLewis Bradford has been responsible for the successful structural repair and strengthening of numerous important buildings in Christchurch. They were internationally recognised in 2019 with the IStructE award for structures in extreme conditions for the design of the new central library Turanga. \nIn a year when we remember the events in Christchurch ten years ago\, Helen’s presentation provides technical information on the strengthening and repair of heritage buildings\, the design of new buildings and large-scale public artworks\, mixed with the reality of experiencing the violence of the earthquakes and the extraordinary circumstances of working as an engineer in a devastated city as it continued to be subject to aftershocks.
