She went on to earn a master s degree from Old Dominion University and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of California-Berkeley. Gosink has been at Mines since 1991. There she provided the rationale and framework for the Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics program that was created three years ago. She has served locally and nationally as a role model and mentor for women and girls. I hope this award brings attention to programs for women in engineering.
Engineering needs women for design.
