The Female Face ofCivil EngineeringToo many girls and their families assume engineering is for men. Showingthem real women working on exciting projects which in turn make a differenceto people’s lives opens their eyes to a whole new world of possible careeroptions. Women from diverse backgrounds talking with excitement andpassion about what they do will inspire more girls to follow in their footsteps.Helen Wollaston – Chief Executive at WISE, a campaign to promote women inscience, technology and engineeringFor many young people seeing is believing - they respond well to practicalexamples which show the diverse and rewarding careers that are in reachthrough studying STEM subjects at school. This is especially important foryoung women, who may assume engineering is not a career for them due tooutdated perceptions. They need role models and job profiles which bust themyths about who engineers are.
