Honeywell marked International Women in Engineering Day (INWED22) and shone a spotlight on futureshaper Fernanda Lopes who shared her advice for future engineers.
Fernanda is a Principal Chemical Engineer and works with refineries to support the technologies they’ve implemented at their plants.
"Regardless of all the strong technical skills we need, at the end of the day, we work with and for people, so be respectful of everybody who crosses your way," says Fernanda.
"As a technology specialist focused on the gasoline sector, I support refineries by addressing requests they have about technologies at their sites, which includes answering their questions and helping them implement new solutions to be more efficient," explains Fernanda.
"This is not an easy career, and sometimes, you cannot relate the equations that you may learn in college to the real world. Regardless of all the strong technical skills we need, at the end of the day, we work with and for people, so be respectful of everybody who crosses your way. You can learn from everybody everywhere."
