Engineered Systems Aims to Showcase the Women of Engineering
Welcome to the 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC submission page!
Engineering is a male-dominated field. In fact, only 398,000 women — or 14 percent of all engineers — are employed in architecture and engineering occupations, according to a 2016 report by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. While that percentage may appear miniscule, it’s quite astonishing considering that only 5.8 percent of engineers were women in the 1980s.
The women who are working in the engineering sector are accomplishing phenomenal things. In the January issue of Engineered Systems, we’re aiming to showcase 20 of these individuals throughout the HVAC universe — not just the most powerful or influential.
