Community reviews for Engineer Girl

The website has an abundance of links to information in all sorts of engineering fields and what sorts of paths girls can take to reach their goals. There's a nice variety of occupations considered, and a good emphasis on current and past role models in different fields. The website also allows students to get in touch with women already in the industry, so you can get authentic answers, though it might take a while to respond. The website itself seems to be old and rough in some aspects. Some of the buttons simply do not work anymore, and the font/design choice can be hard to read/navigate. It is also not updated too frequently from what I could tell, with months or years between some posts. There navigation is also very complicated, with an abundance of pages. While this is good in terms of content, it can be hard for younger students to navigate.

A good resource for researching careers in engineering. The "Ask an Engineer" is a place where students can connect with engineers in the profession. Videos would add a great deal to the site.

Excellent information but LOTS of reading. Students who get overwhelmed easily by the written word will turn off quickly to this site. But the engineers seem very relatable and genuine; video confirm that.

This website is informational with nothing to set up and serves as a good resource for disseminating content to girls seeking to learn about the engineering profession. Fun facts is phenomenal as well as the detailed list of women who have contributed to the field. As a reviewer who should have been an engineer, timely receipt of this type of information can be life-changing. The website could serve girls by exposing them to possibilities and possible mentors as an "Ask an Engineer" forum is available where connections can be established, especially in our social media-driven world. Teachers can pass this website on to girls as career options and assist them in exploring and understanding how to make such a dream a reality. Supplementing the amazing photos that are a part of the website with videos might add more appeal, especially if the video(s) showed something like "A Day in the Life of a Woman Engineer". Interactivity for the sake of interactivity is not necessary, however, the connection to Facebook and Twitter is a plus.
