Women in Engineering Interview Series – Christy S.
I’ve been blogging here on Engineering Emily for two years now, and recently started to realize that I was working in my own little bubble. I knew I wasn’t the only blog for women engineers and teaching kids about STEM, and I decided it is time to start connecting to...
I finally read Lean In…and I liked it!
I just finished reading Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg, and I loved it! I know, I know, I am five(!) years late to the party. If I have any free time to “read for pleasure” I normally choose some fluff fiction book, either fantasy or...

Learning the value of annual goal setting
Annual goal setting was one of those tasks I dreaded every January at work. I found it stressful to have to plan my entire year’s worth of work and know I was going to be judged on how I accomplished those goals by the end of the year. I usually felt like I was...

Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, “That person is cool. I want to know her and/or be just like her”? That’s how I felt the first time I met Jeanet. I met her while working in Australia, and at the time she had two young children and was working...
Women in Engineering Interview Series – Laura C.
I love how the Engineering Emily Women in Engineering Interview Series has enabled me to reach out to many friends and former colleagues who I’ve lost touch with over the years, and I’ve been able to meet new woman engineers, too. I love reading and sharing these...Welcome
