Women in Engineering

More and more women are enrolling in electrical and computer engineering
at MSU. Engineering is not an exclusively masculine endeavor. What really matters is motivation, scholastic ability and interest. Studies have shown that men and women do equally well as engineering students and professional engineers. Some characteristics common to most engineers are an interest in mathematics, science and problem solving, and a desire to do useful, meaningful work. These attributes are certainly not limited to men. For women who want a chance to use their full potential, electrical engineering, computer engineering and electrical and electronics engineering technology offers a rewarding and self-fulfilling career.
