Women engineerings may be small in number, but we are there.


Why women are awesome in engineering

It wasn’t about being a woman or being a man, it was that my head worked logically. 

Women engineers may be small in number, but we are there. As long as you’ve got the right people behind you, you can do anything you want.

So, if you want to help the world, particularly now with this massive climate emergency that we’re in, being an engineer and making a better society by the things that we need every day, like the structures we build, the transport, the water and power we deliver as well as lots of things that you might never have thought of. 

Women can bring a lot to the table, being compassionate, thinking about the bigger picture, thinking about climate – women are awesome!
