WOMEN BELONG IN ENGINEERING
Are there any resources to feel more included?
Can anyone actually attest to that besdies 'research'?
Need proof that everything said is true?
How many women are in engineering?
What could help that number?
Yes! “I want to show future generations that just because you look a certain way, it in no way determines how successful you will be...I cannot think of a better way to do that than as a female engineer." - Tessa Yackley, UNL civil engineering graduate
Representation. Simply seeing role models that look like them can influence whether or not women stay in the field.
Less than engineers are women.
