Engineer Your Life resources

Engineer Your Life (EYL) has FREE resources you can use to spark girls' interest in engineering.

What is EYL?

EYL breaks down stereotypes about engineering and encourages college-bound girls to consider it as a career option.

EngineerYourLife.org features ten great reasons to become an engineer, streaming video of inspiring women engineers, descriptions of dream engineering jobs, and advice for parents, educators, and engineers on how to talk to girls about engineering.

An independent evaluation shows that 78.5% of girls, after exploring the EYL website, listed engineering as their number one career choice.

Use EYL in your classroom:
Share www.EngineerYourLife.org with students, parents, teachers and counselors.
Order FREE brochures/postcards by sending an email to feedback@engineeryourlife.org.
Present EYL videos of inspiring women engineers to students and parents.
Incorporate EYL into your career exploration programs and curricula.
- Mary Schmitz, a geometry teacher in Missouri, gives her students the assignment of researching engineering careers on EYL’s site and posting their favorite on their class wiki. Mary comments:
“I just want to let the girls know what is available to them and maybe open up more opportunities for them. I think your site is wonderful and I get really good responses from my students after they have read about the different fields of engineering.”
