Pioneering Women in Engineering: Empowering Stories & Strategies for Success

To celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th, we're highlighting pioneering female engineers throughout history, including inventors, mathematicians, and medical field pioneers who paved the way for today's engineers. We also cover the challenges women face in the industry and offer some top tips for success.

Despite the challenges faced by women in engineering, the future looks bright. Diversity in the workplace is proven to bring various perspectives, experiences, and ideas to the table. Companies are now recognising that this can lead to increased innovation, creativity, and problem-solving in companies, leading to more opportunities and support for women in the industry. Additionally, the growing demand for engineers in fields such as renewable energy, healthcare, and biotechnology means there is an abundance of global roles waiting to be filled by talent from all backgrounds. 

Women have made great strides in engineering over the past century, but there is still work to be done to increase the number of women in the field and support their success. By joining together, advocating for change, and supporting each other's achievements, we can create a more inclusive and empowering future for women in engineering.
