How do I arrange to work from home?

Hi! I've got my BSE in Industrial Engineering and I'm currently working as a project manager for a large electrical manufacturer. I'm going to be having my first child soon. I would like to keep working but I want to stay at home with my new child for those critical first years of learning. Do any of you have engineering jobs that allow you to work from home? If so, what are those jobs? Thanks!

    Hi Kellie,

    This question is difficult for just one or two engineers to answer, so we asked some of the women from the Society of Women Engineers on Facebook.  Their replies are great and include everything from consulting to CAD to computer programming, and they also mention the importance of childcare even when you are working at home.  You can check out all of their suggestions on FB
