California ACR19 commemorates February 20, 2025, as Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day.
California ACR19 commemorates February 20, 2025, as Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, recognizing the underrepresentation of women in engineering. The resolution highlights the historical contributions of women to engineering, noting that in 1970, only about 3 percent of engineers were women, a figure that rose to approximately 30 percent by 2023. Despite this progress, women hold only 13.7 percent of global engineering jobs, and 1 in 25 boys, but fewer than 1 in 150 girls, report a high interest in engineering careers.
