Exhibition: ‘Women in Engineering: Our Female Engineers Tell Their Stories’
Breaking through glass ceilings: alumni lead the way
This year, we wanted to shine a spotlight on our alumni to inspire our students.
Twenty-five of them have agreed to share their stories and offer encouragement to future female engineers.
Amélie Adet
Operations Manager at Atlas Copco, Graduate of ESIEE Paris (2011)
" I’ve always loved science and wanted to manage a team. My job as an engineer has allowed me to combine these two aspirations perfectly. I never notice the time passing when I’m at work. I work on exciting projects with a great deal of autonomy. "
Cassandre Rayer
Production Manager at Lausanne Regional Public Transport, Graduate of ESIEE Paris (2015)
" Take your rightful place!
Scientific and technical careers should never be a matter of gender. Yet stereotypes continue to hold women back from pursuing these careers. It is time to break down these barriers and claim what is rightfully ours: the opportunity to create, innovate and transform the world. "
Eloïse Danjean
Wind and solar power development project manager at VSB Energies Nouvelles, graduate of ESIEE Paris 2023
" Following two years of preparatory classes for the grandes écoles, I developed a passion for the energy transition and am keen to play an active role in tackling this major challenge. It was with this in mind that I decided to enrol at the ESIEE Paris engineering school, a choice driven by my desire to acquire solid skills and to take part in practical projects in this field. "
Sandrine Wamy
Operations Director at Africa Global Logistics; Winner of the 2024 Women in Industry Awards – ‘International Woman’ Award; Graduate of ESIEE Paris, 2003
" Choosing to become an engineer is a real opportunity for you. Have confidence in your abilities. Don’t let stereotypes hold you back. Engineering is not a field reserved for men. Engineering is a field in which you can excel… "
Camille Couprie
Research Scientist at META (Facebook) AI Research, Graduate of ESIEE Paris (2008)
" By the end of my studies at ESIEE, I realised I was interested in computer science research, and more specifically in computer vision, particularly the fun side of programming with images.
What attracted me to research was the fact that there was always something new to learn. At first, I was a bit worried I might struggle: what if we didn’t find anything? When you’re working on a thesis, you’re not on your own (thanks to the lecturers at ESIEE!) "
