[PRESENTATION] Women in Engineering [ENGINEER] Pat Shamamy, PhD, PE, is the faculty advisor for Lawrence Tech’s student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers. Shamamy has worked in industry on alloy development for nuclear-powered aircraft, fuel cell research, manufacturing optimization, and agile manufacturing. She recently spent six weeks at Shanghai University teaching engineering materials to Chinese students and also runs her own engineering consulting company. [1] 
While women have made significant advances into most of the professions, they are still underrepresented in engineering. In 2003 women comprised only 11 percent of the engineering workforce. Only about 20 percent of all engineering degrees are awarded to women although women now outnumber men in college. As a result, there is significant demand for women in engineering. The opportunities are great, but how should women prepare to be successful in the field?
