New E-Book Marks Fourth Book in IEEE-USA\u2019s Famous Women in Engineering Series<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

It is no secret that women represent a far smaller percentage of the engineering workforce than their male counterparts. While some 35% of environmental engineers are women, they make up only 18% of chemical engineers, 10% of electrical engineers, and 9% of mechanical engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>DiscoverE\u2019s 2023 Executive Summary<\/span><\/a>, when high school students were asked how interested they were in pursuing a career in engineering, female students\u2019 interest paled in comparison to male students\u2019 interest. Why? Data shows that this is largely due to the \u201cconcrete\u201d image (and visible gender divide) that exists in engineering fields today.<\/span>\"Statistics<\/a><\/p>\n

IEEE-USA is taking steps to bridge that divide by amplifying female engineers\u2019 voices and telling stories highlighting women\u2019s impact in the engineering profession. As female students gain more exposure to women in engineering roles, the chances increase that future generations will wholeheartedly embrace this field.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the fourth book of the IEEE-USA\u2019s award-winning \u201cFamous Women Engineers in History\u201d series, author Paul Lief Rosengren tells the story of Kate Gleason, who did not conform to the stereotypical image of women in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Gleason felt as comfortable in overalls as fancy dresses and hats; became the first woman enrolled in Cornell University\u2019s Engineering program; was chosen as the first woman member of both the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Concrete Institute; and made a name for herself in sales, business and engineering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kate<\/a><\/p>\n

Friends with Susan B. Anthony, Henry Leland, Lillian Gilbreth (a successful engineer and businesswoman in her own right) and Henry Ford, Gleason made her mark on the world in countless ways. To name a few, after WWI, she used her wealth to help rebuild a French town and generously supported her hometown, Rochester, N.Y. Her significant gift to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) led to the renaming of the engineering school in 1998 as \u201cThe Kate Gleason School of Engineering.\u201d In 2003, RIT established \u201cThe Kate Gleason Endowed Chair\u201c given to a professor who, among other qualities, motivates women in engineering activities and builds “upon the tradition of Kate Gleason as a role model for women in engineering.” Gleason’s legacy embodies determination, hard work, and creativity, as praised by former RIT President Albert Simone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2014, IEEE-USA has published 35 e-books on Women in Engineering \u2014 all written by IEEE members, and each featuring a different woman\u2019s journey through life and career in her own words. The individual books and compilations can be found in the <\/span>IEEE-USA Shop<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IEEE-USA also sponsors a number of regional IEEE Women In Engineering (WIE) events across the country \u2014 such as the <\/span>International Leadership Summits<\/span><\/a> \u2014 which provide a forum for women students, researchers, educators, engineers, leaders and innovators to discuss a wide variety of relevant topics in the fields of engineering, science and technology. Promoting and engaging in events like this is key to disseminating the knowledge and information necessary to enhance the recruitment and retention of women in technical fields worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n
