Celebrating Worldwide
In addition to changing society's perception of women in STEM, International Women in Engineering Day also seeks to promote engineering as a desirable profession.
While more women now work in many other jobs traditionally held by men, the rate of women in engineering has remained unchanged since the early 2000's, according to research by the Society of Women Engineers.
This year's theme — "Men as Allies" — seeks to underscore the importance of men supporting women "to enter, remain, and reach their potential in engineering," said Kirsten Bodley, chief executive of the Women's Engineering Society.
EHD Tech applauds women in engineering and their expertise.
