Celebration of Women in Engineering

Celebration of Women in Engineering

Only 9% of American engineers are women.  And only 20 of engineering degrees are earned by women.  There are a number of reasons why the low number of women in engineering is a problem.

There are a few major reasons why girls don't consider engineering careers.  Many girls opt out of math and science courses in middle school and close the doors to many socially important and personally rewarding jobs in the future.

Find out how you influence girls' career choices and access resources to learn more about engigneering to help you roster girls' interest in math, science,  and technology.

The EngineerGirl website celebrates the achievements of women engineers and shares information on engineering careers with girls and young women.
