Although studies show women who become engineers have a shorter tenure in the
profession than men, these women have defied that trend. While each admits to
facing obstacles like struggling to be taken as seriously as their male counterparts
and establishing a work-life balance, they credit their employers for constantly
providing opportunities to learn, grow and take on new challenges.
Caparas, Rhett and their colleagues agree that the key to growing the number of
women choosing careers in engineering and construction is to encourage girls to
explore their interest in math, science and leadership at a young age. They also advise
girls to get involved in organizations like the American Society for Civil Engineers,
Construction Management Association of America, and Associated Builders and
Contractors to identify internships and other networking opportunities.
Their advice for those new to the field ranges from being well rounded and finding
a mentor to being fearless and jumping in head first. According to Burdin, the future
looks bright for women working in engineering and construction. “Progress is going
to continue to trend forward for women,” she said.
As women continue to make strides in these male-dominated fields, others will
realize as James Brown did later in the song’s refrain, that even a man’s world
“would be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.”
