In the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated(支配)historically by men, but that’s something www.EngineerGirl.org aims to change. Young women who visit the website can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.
Mary Mattis in the National Academy of Engineering, says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach girls around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.
“We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical(关键的)point in their lives, and that it’s a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer. ”
Engineering is a demanding course of study — there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys,that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.
“It’s about designing things. It’s about changing the world for people. It’s about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living, you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get. ”
While most engineers go into traditional fields, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and — believe it or not — chocolate engineering. “There’s a section called ‘why be an engineer,’ and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income.”
