New Program Seeks to Close Gender Divide in Engineering

摘要

A new program, spearheaded by the National Academy of Engineering and television station WGBH in Boston, Mass., is breaking down stereotypes in engineering, increasing the interest of high school girls in the field, and inspiring young women in college to explore engineering courses. The campaign, "Engineer Your Life," aims to reposition engineering as a creative, lucrative, team-oriented profession that allows people to make a difference in the world.
