Women Engineers: Many Paths to a Rewarding Life

Whether studying the complexities of heat transfer, guiding space shuttles to precise landings or explaining scientific concepts to a judge and jury, to be a woman engineer from Boston University is simply to be an engineer.

Stepping into the College of Engineering as freshmen sets students on a path that opens a world of possibilities when they step out into the world four years later. Engineers’ contributions to society can make meaningful changes to individuals, communities, countries and the world at large. From a medical device that helps doctors perform life-saving surgery to a fuel cell that decreases fossil fuel use, engineers improve quality of life, health and the environment.

For women who have graduated from the College of Engineering, it is often the skills gained beyond the nuts and bolts of engineering that they say serves them well -- communication, presentation and collaboration. These added talents can lift engineers beyond competence to excellence in any discipline they choose.
