With Women’s History Month upon us, we honor some of the contributions women engineers and scientists have made over the decades. Despite facing some systemic societal barriers and stereotypes, women engineers have made significant strides in the engineering fields, leaving their notable mark in the STEM space and paving the way for future generations.

From designing groundbreaking inventions to spearheading innovative projects, these trailblazing women have shattered expectations and challenged traditional norms. Their talents, resilience, and ingenuity are a lasting testament to their undeniable skill and character. It’s on that note that we highlight the accomplishments of some of the most extraordinary women in engineering and science history, along with their achievements and enduring impact on shaping the technological world of today.
