EngineerGirl! contest winners selected

The 2008 contest winners have been selected.

EngineerGirl!

I have served on the National Academy of Engineering steering committee for Women in Engineering for the past eight years—and what an honor it is. This past spring, as in the last several years, the EngineerGirl! website held a contest for students to write a creative response to an engineering dilemma. We were thrilled this year to review many tremendously well-written responses. The winners have been selected and will be announced soon.

If I were to start over in a new career, I feel pretty certain it would be as an engineer. Don’t get me wrong—I completely enjoy my role as the ‘artiste’ on this committee, as I am the only non-engineer. But it is indeed an extraordinary and vast profession, with creativity and collaboration being the paramount hallmarks of any successful engineer, no matter the discipline. Any career that rewards creativity and fresh thinking and true teamwork with really good pay seems like a sure winner to me.
