Female Engineers on a Mission
Female Engineers on a Mission
Engineering is a profession that has traditionally been male-dominated. In fact, men outnumber women in the global engineering workforce 86.3% to 13.7% (Source: Fictiv). But for innovation to thrive, it requires a diverse, mission-driven culture where engineers from various backgrounds collaborate to solve the world’s biggest challenges.
As the world commemorates Women’s History Month, it presents an opportunity to highlight six female Wabtec engineers who have defied the odds. Many of these women own patents, or they followed in the footsteps of their engineering parents or siblings. And while they have different journeys, many common themes emerged. These women share a hunger to solve problems -- big, complex issues that take a lot of trial and error. They are not afraid to fail, not afraid of hard work, not afraid to be the only women in the room. They also believe in making a difference for our customers, and for our environment – this drives them. They are highly intelligent, rising through the ranks of Wabtec, driving special technical projects, being promoted, and succeeding. Meet these innovators and learn about their unique paths and perspectives.
