Abstract
A profile of the woman engineering student and the professional woman engineer is presented, along with an analysis of why she chose engineering and how she compares with her male counterpart. The impact of women engineers on society and that of society on women engineers is examined. The second half of this paper deals with the personal aspects of being a woman engineer. The concerns of a woman engineer in the workplace and in the home are discussed along with some differences between male and female engineers and some problems unique to women engineers.
