Each year on June 23rd, International Women in Engineering Day is celebrated to recognize the efforts of women in engineering. This year marks the eleventh official celebration of the observance and encompasses a worldwide audience of women engineers. The tradition began in 2014 in the United Kingdom by the Women’s Engineering Society to raise awareness about the lack of diversity in engineering and serve as a campaign to promote the field, hoping to recruit more women to pursue engineering.
