I'm so glad that this information was helpful to you. :)<BR/><BR/>I am hopeful that the bias against women in engineering will continue to wane in succeeding generations, so more power to your daughter!<BR/><BR/>You might also check out my post about <A HREF="http://mamajoules.blogspot.com/2008/12/engineer-your-life-website-for-female.html" REL="nofollow">Engineer Your Life</A>, a website about engineering for high school girls.jublkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217297649484707101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7020500419246926092.post-8791006459215961272009-01-23T08:13:00.000-08:002009-01-23T08:13:00.000-08:00Thank you for posting the information about Nation...Thank you for posting the information about National Engineering Week Foundation's activities. I was unaware that such programs existed. My 12 year-old daughter has her sights set on work in an engineering-related field and she would love to participate in these programs. We are now hoping to introduce her middle school to the Future Cities competition and ask that our local university consider "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day."<BR/><BR/>At 12, my daughter is still idealistic about her future but I also want her to see that her dreams are realistic. She is rapidly approaching that sticky age that, for girls, often sees their interests take a backseat to other matters and this adds to the factors that result in marginalization of women in technical and scientific pursuits.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all of the great info that you've posted!SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544849787129826803noreply@blogger.com
