I find I have a difficult time answering the question of who is the most
important engineer, male or female. Engineers tend to work on large
projects that require teams of people to complete. Even in my own place
of employment, there is no one engineer who stands out above others
because so many engineers make significant contributions. In this way,
women make very good engineers because women tend to work well in teams to
get the job done. I notice also that engineers tend to be humble about
their personal accomplishments but speak proudly of the projects that have
been completed.

You are, if you become one! With so few women in engineering today,
every girl and woman who acts on her desire to enter the exciting world of
engineering is guaranteed to make an important impact on all of our futures!

There is no engineer more important than another. Most of us work in teams... some of the best engineers I have met are those that remain in the techy end and don't get bundles of recognition! If you are looking for a bit of inspiration... do look women engineers up on the web. There are many!
