Happy International Women in Engineering Day!
Today we celebrate the women who design, build and improve systems so the rest of us don’t have to think about them.
The holiday also serves as a platform to encourage young women and girls to take up engineering careers, helping to expand what the field can look like.
Whatever’s being built, whether it’s software, a skyscraper or a career opportunity, it starts with a solid foundation. Here are this week’s roles.
