Women in Aerospace: A Growing Force
The aerospace industry has long been a male-dominated field, but women are slowly making their mark. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), only 22% of aerospace engineers are female, despite women making up nearly half of all engineering graduates. However, this trend is changing as more and more women enter the field.
One such woman is Dr. Peggy Chabert, a renowned engineer who has spent her career working on NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. Her dedication to her work and passion for space exploration have inspired countless young girls to pursue careers in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
But it’s not just individual women making a difference – organizations are also playing a crucial role in promoting diversity and inclusion within the aerospace industry. For example, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) has been working tirelessly to support female engineers and provide them with resources and networking opportunities.
As we look to the future, it’s clear that women will continue to play an increasingly important role in shaping the aerospace industry. With their unique perspectives and skills, they are helping to drive innovation and push boundaries.
