Engineering is a male-dominated industry, but that is changing. For the fourth consecutive year, the staff at Engineered Systems is proud to showcase the women of engineering through our 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC contest.
This year’s class of winners includes women representing every level of the industry, from entry-level novices to engineers in training to those running their own firms and everything in between. After countless hours of deliberation, our staff chose 20 deserving women to honor.
“Every year, I continue to be blown away by the outstanding achievements of the women who are showcased in this contest, and this year is no exception,” said Mike Murphy, publisher, Engineered Systems. “The engineering industry is changing, and the individuals featured within this issue of Engineered Systems are leading the way. Congratulations to all of our winners and to the industry as a whole that benefits from their continued success.”
Without further ado, we present the winners of our 2022 Top 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC contest.
