The mini-skirt has replaced the
hard hat in one field traditionally
reserved for a combination of
brains and brawn.
And industry through publicity
campaigns urging women to join
the FEW--Future Engineering
Women-is seeking more and more
women to fill vacancies in the
engineering profession.
"There's no problem of
discrimination in getting jobs,"
said Dr. David Waugh, associate
dean of the University of South
Carolina School of Engineering.
"In the past 20 years, we've
graduated between 15 and 20 girls.
None have had trouble getting
jobs."
And Columbia engineering firms
unanimously agree that women
are badly needed in the modern
world of engineering. Where once
engineers worked alongside
construction workers on various
projects, today many are busy
inside comfortable offices as
analysts, designers, and resear
chers.
"The notion of engineers who
work out of doors just does not
apply anymore," confessed Dr.
Waugh. "And in the days of mini
skirts, one of the deprivations of
engineering has been having no
girls in classes," he joked.
While many of the young women
choosing engineering as a major
seem to have stumbled onto it
through an interest in ar
chitecture, others say they long
considered the possibility of en
tering the field.
"I wanted to major in ar
chitecture when I first came to
school," recalled Alice Langford, a
senior, "but I chose engineering
instead. I remember the first
engineering class I walked into,
the boys kept asking if I was in the
wrong class. Later the professor
addressed us as 'Gentlemen and
Lady."'
Another student, Mrs. Christina
Massey, said she "Wanted to go
into architecture, but I decided on
engineering. I've run into several
teachers who said I was the first
girl they had ever taught. I like the
math and science aspect of
engineering, especially structures
and mechanics."
A freshman, Laura Forrester
finds engineering "a challenge. I
just did not want to go into
anything else."
Another freshman, Ann
Thompson, is following two
brothers who have also received

An upperclassman, Jane Price

and science, but "I never throught
I'd have the nerve to go into
engineering."
Explaining her own situation,
Mary Dowling added "my family
is science oriented. I couldn't
play the piano and couldn't draw,
but I was good in math and
science. I thought about pharmacy
and math, but engineering com
bined both chemistry and math
and offered more variety. Nothing
else really appealed to me. When
my father suggested engineering, I
decided to major in it."

engineering students are glad to
have them in classes even feeling
"protective" toward them, the
girls unanimously resented the
shocked expressions other boys
give upon learning of their studies.
"I told one boy I was in chemical
engineering," recalled Miss
Dowling, "and he gave me such a
look of astonishment I just smiled
sweetly and told him to close his
mouth - he was losing his cool."
Miss Langford advised other
majors simply to "tell the boys
you're in education."
Having girls in engineering
classes has posed some problems

providing a great deal of humor.

Dr. Waugh recalled one clas In
which "a married studenat who was
pregnant had enrolled. It came
time for final exams, and she
turned out to be the only student I
ever had who munched melba
toast to avoid a case of morning
sickness".
As new fields of engineering
open up, women are being sought
to fill positions heretofore
designated for men.
"Bio-medical engineering is a
wide open field without the
tradition of being male-oriented,"
explained Dr. Waugh. "Teams of
doctors and engineers have to
work together in designing such
new devices as heart and kidney
machines. We have a model of the
cardio-vascular system here which
is used in studying these
engineering problems.
Recognizing the prominence of
women in the field, previous all
male engineering societies are
opening up memberships to 4
women. Tau Beta Pl, honorary
engineering society, previously
provided an auxiliarly
organization for women meeting
requirements. Barriers were
eliminated last year and women
presently hold membership in the
organization.
In its biennial survey (1969-67),
the Society of Women Engineers
revealed that figures provided by
118 schools showed 1289 women
had majored in engineering at that
time. Among the most popular
areas in engineering were
chemical engineering which
ranked first followed by electrical
electronic, general and civil
engineering.
