Women in Engineering
The mission of the Women at Work Museum is to to promote leadership, economic independence, and math, science, engineering and technology, and to recognize the efforts of individuals and organizations that support equity in education and the workplace promoting women.
In support of our mission and funded by a grant given by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Envision Engineering exhibit debuted in the fall of 2007. This exhibit was inspired in part by Jean Bartik, one of the first women to program computers, who said, “I hope all young girls will give themselves permission to dream about any vocation”.
This display is available to travel to local schools and events! Please contact the museum for details.
As a follow-up to this exhibit, we are excited to present a new interactive Women in Engineering web page, a hands-on opportunity for young women to learn about:
- Famous and influential women engineers of the past and present
- Career opportunities in various fields of engineering
- Advice from "Ask an Engineer"
- What engineers do
- And more...
