We\u2019ve come a long way since Evelyn Roxburgh graduated from Heriot-Watt College in 1923 with a diploma in electrical engineering \u2013 the first woman in Scotland to qualify as an electrical engineer. Evelyn spent much of her career in Metropolitan Vickers, one of the biggest engineering companies in the country.<\/p>\n

And then there was Langholm-born Dorothy Buchanan who, in 1927, became the first female chartered engineer registered by the Institution of Civil Engineers and worked on engineering projects as far-flung as Sydney, Kharthoum and Belfast.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, there is still a huge gender imbalance in the scientific industries, and that\u2019s why we need an International Women in Engineering Day. Now in its 8th year, INWED aims to raise the profile of women in engineering and inspire women and girls all over the world to enter the industry.\u00a0 INWED is celebrated on 23rd June all over the world. See here<\/a> for what’s happening in the UK.<\/p>\n

Despite boys and girls having an equal interest in science and technology in their school years, only around 25% of workers in the STEM sector are women. Equate Scotland aims to help change this. It works with further education institutions, employers and students to develop women\u2019s scientific expertise, skills and confidence. Find out about them here<\/a><\/p>\n

Here at Edinburgh Napier, 20% of our staff and students in the School of Engineering & the Built Environment are female. We welcome girls and boys of all backgrounds. \u00a0Why not join us? Find out more here<\/a><\/p>\n
