Women in the SolidWorks Community Reflect on their Start in Engineering

In line with old-school gender expectations, however, Planchard does note she is in a “helping” profession: “I help people by giving them great products or helping them create great products of their own.”

  • Know that you can do it (because you can).
  • And as Apollo 13 Commander Capt. James Lovell Jr. said at SolidWorks World, success is the only option.

Fact: Eighteen percent of undergrad engineering degrees went to women in 2009, according to the American Society for Engineering Education. Undergraduate female enrollment in engineering ticked slightly higher for the second straight year, rising to 18.2 percent in fall 2009 from 17.5 percent in 2007.
