What was your academic path to becoming an engineer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After obtaining a baccalaureate in mathematical sciences, I entered a preparatory cycle and then completed a Master’s degree in civil engineering at the Polytechnic School in Agadir, Morocco. To deepen my expertise in this field, I pursued an additional Master’s 2 year at the University of Lyon 1 in the “Materials and Structures for Sustainable Construction” program, specializing in civil engineering, and it was during my professional internship that I joined the EDPF engineering office of PHAREA Group in Lyon. They subsequently hired me as a structural steel calculation engineer after I graduated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What motivated you to become an engineer? Did you have mentors or people who inspired you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since childhood, I wanted to be an engineer; it was always my goal. Being an engineer means designing, finding solutions and solving problems, being a productive member of society and contributing to its development in both the short and long term. So I wanted to be creative and productive and develop solutions, which is why I chose the engineering profession.My teachers inspired me; they were my mentors because they encouraged me greatly throughout my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your opinion, what could be done to encourage more young women to choose engineering careers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Young women need to be made aware, whether through school, parents, or society in general, of the opportunities offered in engineering and shown role models of women who have succeeded in this field, particularly regarding diversity and the inclusion of women in corporate environments or in university research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give to a young woman who is hesitating to pursue engineering studies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Engineering is a complex profession because it requires mastering multiple disciplines, so it demands patience, dedication, and perseverance, but above all, you must be motivated to pursue this career in order to succeed in this field. Because quite simply, you cannot go far in a job you do not enjoy. My advice for young women, whether in the field of engineering or any other field, is to first consider their aspirations, to see if they are interested in engineering, if they have a passion for it. If so, they can continue in this field regardless of the difficulties they will encounter during their journey; they will ultimately succeed in reaching their goal because quite simply, they love what they do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What are your interests outside of work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy listening to music, I like to sing, I also enjoy baking and horseback riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How would you describe your role in the company?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My role is divided into two parts: calculation and design. First, I begin by studying the client’s requirements and constraints. Then, I proceed to the design phase of the steel structure using TEKLA software. Next, I must calculate and dimension the sections of the steel framework and calculate the connections using Robot software, based on Eurocode standards. After the calculation phase, I move to the design phase using TEKLA software to model the structure and produce the fabrication and assembly drawings for the steel framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does a typical workday look like, and what projects are you currently working on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am working on the design of a platform with the calculation engineer. I created an initial design using TEKLA software and then sent the model to the engineer to calculate the steel sections and connections. I also prepared a general assembly drawing of the structure, and now I must wait for the calculation results to update the model sections and proceed to the execution phase to produce the fabrication and assembly documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you share an anecdote related to the company or your career path?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My anecdote is related to my educational journey. During my fourth year at the Polytechnic School of Agadir, we had to complete a group project as part of the “Entrepreneurship & Innovation” module. For this project, we had to identify a market need and develop a solution to address it. In our group, we chose to address the need for thermal insulation in buildings and how to improve the thermal performance of concrete. We therefore developed an ecological concrete brick based on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) macro-fibers, which is a plastic material with excellent thermal insulation properties found in bottles. To make our project more ecological, we decided to collect used plastic bottles for recycling. And that’s when the adventure began! We had to cut all the bottles into macro-fibers using scissors because we did not have access to machines… We tried to use a rolling mill to cut them, but it broke, so we went back to scissors\u2014it was truly hard on the fingers! We spent days cutting them before we managed to obtain the necessary quantity of PET fibers to manufacture the ecological brick. In the end, our project was ranked first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
