Their personal histories give the eBook a wide purview, providing guidance and direction that illuminates the reality and challenge of being a modern women working in the engineering world.
"We worked with some of the most fascinating, hard-working, insightful and experienced engineers I've ever known to develop this eBook," said Karen Horting, SWE’s executive director and CEO. "There's an inspirational power in their words, a sense of strength and perseverance that really shines through in their stories. I found their advice invaluable, and I know our members and the public at large will too.
This release is the latest in a series of eBooks developed by SWE. The previous release, the Work & Life Integration Playbook, explored the delicate balance between leading a fulfilling personal life and pursuing a rewarding career.
