APWEN The number of women in engineering in Nigeria is still far below the acceptable level. While there has been increasing number of girls in science class, only few of them made it to engineering at University level. In a bid to stem this tide, APWEN, the flagship of professional women in engineering have been working on various innovative programmes to encourage girls to embrace the “E” part of the STEM education. Nigeria needs more engineers to contribute to the socioeconomic development and the current ratio of men to women in engineering practice is still low compare to the available potentials. Under its current president, Engr Felicia Agubata, APWEN has been embarking on more creative ways to inspire more young girls to embrace engineering. The key focus is to ‘catch them young”. This method involves grooming them for career in engineering from their days in primary and secondary school and exposing them to the options available in engineering while also offering

Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia have   developed the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) system, a biometric mirror,   that can detect and display personality traits of a subject simply by analyzing a photograph. The”Biometric Mirror” was unveiled on Tuesday. It works by comparing the user’s data with thousands of other facial images in it’s database. The data that biometric mirror uses is based on crowdsourced feedback on people’s facial appearance, project leader Dr Niels Wouters from the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Social Natural User Interfaces said. When someone stands in front of Biometric Mirror, the system detects a range of facial characteristics in seconds. It then compares the user’s data to that of thousands of facial photos, which were evaluated for their psychometrics by a group of crowd-sourced responders. Biometric Mirror displays 14 characteristics, from gender, age and ethnicity to attractiveness, weirdness and emoti
