ExxonMobil Wants More Women To Become Engineers

Yahoo reports:
How do you attract girls to engineering? Especially when many say "it's boring," "too difficult," or "it's just not for them."

ExxonMobil is working to overcome this perception by showing middle school girls how exciting and important engineering careers can be by participating in the Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day program. The annual program, a component of National Engineers Week (eweek.org), will have ExxonMobil employees conducting presentations on engineering at schools, leading site tours and hosting interactive demonstrations for students at ExxonMobil facilities across the country.
