Description
Women engineers have participated in the engineering profession, and have shaped the development of American technology for over one hundred years. From a handful of women engineering graduates in the early 1900s, to thousands of working engineers in the 21st century, women have shown that “petticoats and slide rules” go hand-in-hand.
Petticoats and Slide Rules highlights the history of women engineers' evolving roles in American society and in the engineering profession. It also walks through the development of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the first American national engineering society dedicated to promoting women.
This exhibit celebrates women in engineering, their struggles for equal rights, and their mission to introduce young women to a rewarding career. The exhibit will be on display at the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center from January 9, 2012 until April 1, 2012 and is sponsored by Chocolate Perks and the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center Foundation.
