Shield Casework Product Manager Receives Solidworks Recognition
North Kansas City, Mo (PRWEB) December 23, 2015 -- Shield Casework’s product manager Lauren Lee was named the November Solidworks Women in Engineering honoree this week.
Lee worked at the Dimensional Innovations, the company that developed Shield Casework, for five years before becoming the head of the engineering department at Shield.
Since moving over, she has proven an integral member of the Shield team. Her ability to efficiently carry out tasks and meet deadlines has allowed Shield to continue quickly manufacturing goods for notable clients.
Her long-term thinking has contributed to quicker, easier manufacturing of innovative client solutions. In particular, her work on the University of California—San Diego Jacobs Medical Center headwalls resulted in an award-winning solution that has received recognition from the Industrial Design Society of America (IDSA) as well as the International Design Awards (IDA) competition.
In addition to Lee’s design talent, her leadership both inside and outside of the Shield office set her apart to the Solidworks judges. Managing workflow and junior employees in the engineering department at Shield, Lee also empowers Kansas City women to overcome workplace challenges with a Lean In Circle she founded in 2014.
Lee’s dedicated work and leadership both at Shield and in the Kansas City engineering community as a whole earned her this esteemed honor. As part of this honor, Lee will be featured in a blog post on the Solidworks corporate website later this November to emphasize her contributions to the engineering community.
