The Conversation US recently published an article by Carolyn C. Seepersad, Ph.D. (WV A ’96), on involving women and girls in engineering. Dr. Seepersad is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. One of her main proposals for action is “richer storytelling” of what engineers do.
Dr. Seepersad also highlights the importance of engaging the right audience (active with K-12 students) and keeping them involved (to improve retention).
