Abstract
Our goal at Women in Science and Engineering – University of Toronto Chapter is to support and empower all women in STEM fields and to help them achieve their full potential as future engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders. Since its inception in 1999, the organization has developed into one of the largest and highly regarded campus organizations with over 1500 members to champion gender equity, counter biases, and build confidence in all STEM fields. Our annual National Conference aims to empower and inspire individuals to pursue their passions, explore new opportunities, and to make meaningful, lasting connections. One of the events we hold at the conference is the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, which challenges undergraduate and graduate delegates to present their research in 3 minutes with one static slide to a non-specialist audience. This abstract book features the research that some of the 3MT competitors presented at the WISE NC 2021.
