The NDSU College of Engineering actively supports efforts to increase the number of female engineering students and professionals. One of our core values is being proactive about diversity, knowing that we are far better together.
As part of a special project for Women's History Month, the college interviewed some of our distinguished women graduates. The goal is to highlight female engineering role models and encourage more young girls and women to pursue an engineering degree.
