In support of National Engineers Week, ExxonMobil is sending its
engineers into eight Fairfax County public middle schools to raise
awareness of engineering career opportunities. During these
�Introduction to Engineering Day� events, ExxonMobil employees will
highlight career paths in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics with the goal of attracting young women and men to the
engineering profession. In addition, students will learn about the
ways that engineering impacts every aspect of daily life � from
travel to shopping to technology to construction. Women are one of
the largest underrepresented groups in engineering today, an
industry that is about 90 percent male. In total, ExxonMobil
engineers will visit eight local middle schools and talk to more
than 1,700 seventh graders. Students will also have the opportunity
to participate in interactive demonstrations and experiments. The
school visitation schedule is: February 11: Holmes and Key Middle
