GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

The National Academy of Engineering has done a fine job creating Engineer Girl!, a site to educate girls about careers in engineering. An explanation of the process of chocolate manufacturing covers chemical, mechanical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, and industrial engineering. It takes a lot of science to mass produce chocolate! Other engineering disciplines are listed with encouraging descriptions. A companion site for parents, teachers, and mentors describes the myths that discourage girls from pursuing engineering careers and offers advice for encouraging them. There is a lot to delve into with these sites, including links to external resources.
