According to the Society of Women Engineers' most recent Science and Engineering Indicators report, only 16.1% of professional Engineers and Architects are women. As slim as that percentage may be, it is up 39% versus just twenty years ago. The engineering industry continues to be a male-dominated field, but every year, more and more young women enroll in STEM-based degree programs, slowly turning those numbers in a different direction. The next generation of women engineers is being inspired by the talent, leadership, and innovation of today’s women in the engineering industry. Women like those that appear on this year’s 100 Influential Women in Georgia Engineering list.

Selected by ACEC Georgia’s 100 Influential Women in Engineering Committee

COMPILED & EDITED

BY BRETT HILLESHEIM

Engineers are obviously an integral part of the collaborative process of creating the built environment, but it also takes many other professions, such as architects, contractors, surveyors, attorneys, urban planners, and government leaders, to bring an idea from a dream to reality. Nominated and selected by their peers, the women who appear on Engineering Georgia's sixth annual list of Influential Women are making Georgia a better place to live, work, and play through their notable achievements. These women are leaders in male-dominated fields who have had to create their own paths to success and stand as an inspiration for the next generation of engineering leaders. In fact, many of these women lead or volunteer in STEM-related programs to influence and help the next generation of women engineers create their own paths.
