Engineers

Are you an engineer looking for a way to let students know about the rewards of an engineering career? 

The following options may interest you. 

  1. Create a profile in the Directory of Women Engineers:  EngineerGirl members are presented with a number of opportunities to share their experiences both through the website or through volunteer opportunities in their own community. Members answer occasional questions for website visitors through our "Ask an Engineer" program and may also sign up to be contacted by teachers or students for interviews or other service. You must be a woman either working as an engineer or who got her start through an engineering education to join. Just go to the registration page to get started and you will be notified when your profile is approved.
     
  2. Submit an interview: Interviews on the website are a great way to share your experiences without agreeing to answer further questions .  You may simply prepare answers to a group of written interview questions to be posted on the website.  If you have a story to share, please let us know by emailing engineergirl@nae.edu and tell us a little bit about your background. 
     
  3. Prepare an article or blog post: If you have specific experience you may opt to create an article or blog post for the website.  Perhaps you would like to share information about the best way to find a job or an internship in your particular engineering field, or you may know of some exciting work being done by engineers that would be appropriate to highlight in our "What They Do" blog.   We welcome submissions of articles that would be appropriate for a middle- and high-school audience.  Please be aware that all submissions will be reviewed and edited by EngineerGirl staff before they are posted on the website, and do not submit articles that are copyrighted elsewhere or that were not created by you personally.  Please send article submissions to engineergirl@nae.edu.
     
  4. Nominate a friend for the Directory:  If you know of another exceptional woman engineer that would make a great role model for girls, please let us know.  Just submit her basic information, and we will take it from there.
