“We unlock the wealth of creativity, perspectives and solutions that alleviate the heights of our industry. Choose your careers based on your strength, not on stereotypes, the decision of your peers, pressures from family or gender biases.” Terence Erasito says that women have always been instrumental in the development of society from time and time again.”In engineering schools today, females’ participation is up and around 20% and that’s a huge difference. It’s significant”
