What was your inspiration for pursuing Engineering?

I was attracted to engineering because it is a mix of math, science and design classes that could give me the tools and skills to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Engineers have the potential to solve some of the world鈥檚 toughest challenges and by doing so impact people鈥檚 lives in a very positive way. That is something that really attracted me to the engineering profession.听

Why is it important for women to be involved in Engineering?

Women are as capable as men in succeeding in any discipline, including engineering. It is important to have more women because they deal with solving problems differently than men do and have different ideas to put on the table which can ultimately lead to more successful projects.听 Studying engineering is also a way to empower women by giving them the tools to achieve anything they want in life. 听 听 听 听 听 听 听
