Author Amy K. Jones offers interesting anecdotes regarding her personal experiences as a woman in engineering. Some are stories of what she did well; others, she hopes, will demonstrate where she failed, and perhaps inspire others to act differently. Despite all the cringe-worthy moments, Jones believes her failures are the most vital to include. Successes feel intimidating, she writes, and it?s hard to accurately express how much hard work and luck go into them. In contrast, failure is a pathway to learning. Jones hopes her e-book inspires you to perform a bit of self-reflection; makes you laugh; and gives you a little of that special feeling one experiences when enjoying a glass of red wine--with a friend who really gets you.

Through 15 April, IEEE members can download a free copy of this eBook by adding it to your cart and using promo code MARFREE18 at checkout. In Book 5 of IEEE-USA's Women in Engineering E-Book Series, author Melissa Lau's story isn't about grand inventions that will bring about the next Industrial Revolution. It doesn't even have a science award for your usual World-Saving Development or Life-Changing Design. Rather her story points to the little triumphs in an engineer's life that make the journey worth the time, the effort and the wanderings that get us there. There is no fanfare or prestige, and barely anyone understands what engineers talk about at a cocktail party (for those of us brave enough to be found in one). But an ordinary life can be just as remarkable. Member: $0.00 Non-Member: $9.99 -

This e-book series has two purposes: to present a high-level overview about women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and to provide the first-hand accounts of the professional journeys of some notable contemporary female engineers. When reading Book 1 (Vol. 1), readers should note that data representing a global perspective on the issue of women in STEM fields is included, wherever available. Employment, education and statistical data are most readily available and detailed for the United States, so many of the statistics and trends identified pertain strictly to the United States. This volume is not meant to be a comprehensive study. The topic of women in the workforce--particularly the STEM workforce--is complex, varied, and perhaps best appreciated when studied from multiple vantage points. Member: FREE Non-Member: $9.99
