An Education in Engineering provides a woman with the knowledge to fulfill her intrinsic desire to create a better quality of life for herself and those around her.

Unfortunately, I believe the profession has become stereotyped into a very narrow, highly technical image which either intimidates or does not interest many young people now, especially young women. Yes, obtaining a degree in engineering and science requires hard work and can be a grueling experience. This current change is not only needed to produce more talented engineers for our nation, but will also provide a richer and more rewarding college experience for students.
