As a participant in National Engineers Week, ExxonMobil is sending
our engineers into eight Fairfax County Public Middle Schools to
raise awareness of engineering career opportunities for everyone,
especially young women. Designated �Introduction to Engineering
Day,� these events highlight career paths in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics with the goal of attracting young women
and men to the engineering profession, while raising awareness of
the impact such careers have on everyday life. �With a healthy dose
of imagination and a knack for math and science, anyone, can become
successful engineers,� said Katy Weidenfeller, engineering graduate
of Rice University and engineering associate at ExxonMobil, as well
as past President of the Baltimore-Washington Section of the
Society of Women Engineers. �ExxonMobil promotes engineering and
related careers through events such as 'Introduction to Engineering
Day' to provide seventh grade students an up-close perspective of
what engineering has to offer.� Women are one of the largest
underrepresented groups in engineering today, an industry that is
about 90 percent male. �Introduction to Engineering Day� was
created to introduce talented young men and women to the impact
engineering has on every aspect of daily life � from travel to
shopping to technology to construction. ExxonMobil engineers will
visit eight local middle schools, where more than 1,700 seventh
graders will hear engineers talk about their experiences and
participate in interactive demonstrations and experiments. The
school visitation schedule is: February 12: Liberty, Langston
Hughes and Key Middle Schools February 21: Hayfield Middle School
February 22: Hayfield Middle School February 26: Luther Jackson and
Holmes Middle Schools March 5: Luther Jackson and Key Middle
Schools March 9: Herndon Middle School March 12: Lanier Middle
School Nationally, �Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day� now in its
seventh year, is mobilizing women engineers to actively reach out
to an estimated one million girls throughout the year. Several
