Today, June 23, is National Women In Engineering Day as announced by the Women’s Engineering Society. This announcement coincides with the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Women’s Engineering Society.
The aim is to celebrate the work that women do in engineering, and to showcase the great engineering careers that are available for girls.
There is no debate that women are under represented In STEM. There are many, many, reasons this is happening from social stigma to workplace bias. If you would like to jump into the details of why there are so few women in Science Technology, Engineering and Math, you may find this extensive research released by the AAUW in 2010 quite insightful.
