| Review: | A woman pursuing a successful career in engineering, science or technology needs to work not only hard but ‘smart’. This handbook helps you to make choices that are right for you, your talents, and your life, whatever your choice of career. The book follows a career and life progression path, with separate chapters for particular interest groups: students, career women, university faculty members, managers, and academic deans. All the sections support leadership development. The book begins with a chapter explaining what leadership by women is, why it is important, and how aspiring female leaders can take on the role. The last chapter explains the value of women in engineering. |
