“Diversity in the workforce contributes to creativity, productivity, and innovation. More women today are studying and excelling in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In the U.S., women make up 14 percent of the engineering workforce. The number of female engineers across the globe is on the rise but compared to male engineers it is still much lower.” Check out the progress made for women in engineering. Read the full article to see the number of women in different engineering fields. https://lnkd.in/gseTw3Kk #BGDSTEM #ElevateEquity #Cultivatecuriosity #diversifyinnovation
