Women in Engineering: 21 Remarkable Stories
Women in Engineering: 21 Remarkable Stories
One young woman in the Michigan Engineering family recently said, "There aren't enough of us!"
Another woman, much older, said that if there are to be more women in engineering, "we need to remove the obstacles."
Yet another, a faculty member, said that her fondest desire is to support and encourage women in engineering to succeed, to have interesting careers, to become leaders in their fields.
All three care deeply about women in engineering. Yet they make a point of proving, every day, that the profession of engineering has no gender. An engineer is an engineer.
This issue of Michigan Engineer tells the stories of 21 remarkable people who are part of the Michigan Engineering family and just happen to be women. They are, in fact, only a representative cross-section of Michigan Engineering alumni, students and faculty who are achievers and leaders. They're people whose educations, skills, creativity and passion enable them to solve the world's toughest problems and improve the quality of life. They say "We can do it" in the face of ongoing challenges, some of which are undeniably related to gender.
They teach, nurture, create and inspire. And they speak their minds -- they're people with opinions, some of them conventional, some quite controversial.
These are the stories of women who epitomize the very definition of "engineer."
