The stories the women relate illustrate the psychological, sociological, and educational perspectives that must be incorporated into mainstream curriculum if it is to be more gender sensitive. Questions Girls Ask is designed to inspire girls and women to follow the example set by Dr. Cannon and Madame Du, and also to encourage retention and recruitment among girls and women who are considering careers in science and engineering. Engineering provides flexibility in career options. You can work in an office or in the field, locally or internationally, for a big or small company, or as a consultant. You can be involved in a highly technical area, in product development or management.
Engineering school is hard work but lots of fun as well.
Engineers are known on campus as people with a lot of energy and imagination. An engineering degree will allow your daughter to make a real difference in the world - influencing technology for tomorrow. You, as a parent, can be a great encouragement to your daughter to stay in science and math courses during high school, and keep her options open for the future.
