Corporate Scientist and 3M chief science advocate Jayshree Seth, shared life lessons from her latest book, ‘The Heart of Science: Engineering Blueprint’ with engineers and STEM enthusiasts at the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) annual meeting in Chicago,
The book, published by SWE, uses an interactive approach with each chapter containing infographics and a workbook, titled “Draft Blueprints,” encouraging readers to apply Seth’s lessons to their own experiences.
Her aim, Seth says, is to empower readers by encouraging self-reflection and inspired action. “I didn’t start my career knowing how to think in ways that empowered me,” she writes. “A lot of these exercises ask you to stretch to places and roles you have only encountered in your imagination.”
Key themes in ‘Engineering Blueprint’ include managing opposition to diversity initiatives, developing a sustainability-focused leadership mindset, and adopting an inclusive approach to mentorship. The book emphasizes the role of practical knowledge in making impactful change in STEM fields, something SWE CEO Karen Hortin applauds, calling it “the perfect capstone course to her trilogy of invaluable teachings.”
Seth’s contributions to STEM go beyond writing. Holding 80 patents, she is a prominent voice in advocating for diversity and inclusion in STEM fields, which was also featured in the 3M docuseries ‘Not the Science Type’, and premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival.
Proceeds from her book will fund the Jayshree Seth Scholarship for Women of Color in STEM, established in 2021, which has awarded $29,000 to support underrepresented minorities.
Founded in 1950, SWE is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women in engineering and technology by offering networking, professional development, and resources to help women engineers achieve their full potential.
