Book on MENA Women Engineering Leaders

Building upon the success of the earlier global editions of "Rising to the Top", IFEES announced the launch of call for partipcation by women engineering leaders in the MENA region.  Rising to the Top is a publication where inspirational female leaders in engineering share their compelling journeys in what is often seen as a male-dominated field. For engineers to solve the grand challenges facing humanity, the field needs all talent to continue to be innovative and inclusive for the advancement of all members of society. These new stories share an even wider global context from the experiences of inspiring women engineering leaders from different regions of the world.  The MENA edition will feature stories by women leaders from the Middle East and North Africa. By openly sharing their personal journeys in these pages, the authors hope to not only inspire the next generation of engineering leaders, but also provide valuable insight into the challenges facing women engineers around the world, and the opportunities that are theirs for the taking.

Those interested in contributing to the MENA edition should contact Dr. Hans Hoyer, Executive Secretary of IFEES
