| The goal was to create a dynamic and approachable site encouraging girls in the 5th through 8th grades to consider a career in engineering. The design needed to reflect this hip and ultra-web-savvy audience. |
The site is largely dynamic and database-driven, allowing staff members to input important information effortlessly. Partnering with Diamax Information Systems, we used the underlying infrastructure currently in place at NAE, producing a site completely integrated into NAE's Lotus Notes/Domino environment. |
The site features profiles of Woman Engineers currently working in the industry in its Gallery of Engineers. The gallery also provides details on various Engineering disciplines, and visitors can learn about jobs firsthand from the engineers who are down in the trenches. |
The site also promotes mentoring and job shadowing, and provides useful information on what classes to study, should you wish to pursue a career in Engineering. Cool and interesting facts, Web links, and references all contribute to the effort to build enthusiasm for engineering. |
More than anything, the goals of the Engineer Girl site are to get girls excited about engineering and science in general, and to provide a fascinating venue to explore the world of engineering. |
