Engineering Women

1. Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day

Each year “Girl Day” allows thousands of women engineers, with support from their male counterparts, to directly mentor more than one million girls and young women in K-12 with firsthand experiences in engineering. Selected pages are also available in Spanish.

 

2. Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering

During a continuous 24-hour period in March, 48 “events” take place via live Internet chats, telephone conversations and Webcasts from points originating around the globe.

 

 

3. Extraordinary Women Engineers Project

The National Engineers Week Foundation serves as the Secretariat for this spectacular project, supported by a large and broad coalition. The EWEP’s first product was the acclaimed book Changing Our World: True Stories of Women Engineers, published in 2006. Currently the project is researching, developing and testing messages and slogans about engineering careers that will resonate with academically-capable high school girls.
