You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven’t improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering—where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.

Great Insight Into Engineering (1 critique)
Revisado: 06-23-23
This book discusses exactly what my husband and I (both engineers) have felt is vital in driving more people into engineering. This has a great focus and I agree completely on how to target more girls into engineering when reflecting on my experience.
My 1 critique is on the work life balance chapter. Readers might have a misconception that the 9/80 schedule is normal within Engineering (basically a 3 day weekend every other weekend) based on the author’s experience. This is true in specific aerospace companies (and possibly engineering roles within the government), but is not representative of engineering professions as a whole. I’ve worked for 6 different companies spanning different industries and only 2 of the 6 had this option and they were both large aerospace companies. It is a great benefit, but not normal and representative for all engineering professions and for commercial companies.
