I Want to Be an Engineer

Shaffer, Beverly, (film director.). Pettigrew, Margaret, (film producer.). Shannon, Kathleen, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: This film provides a lively introduction to the professional and personal lives of three female engineers--just a few of the growing number of women who are opting for "non-traditional" jobs. Their enthusiasm for and commitment to their work makes them convincing role models for high-school girls who might be considering engineering as a career possibility. As well, the film is effective in fostering positive attitudes towards women working in the traditionally male professions of science and technology. Support material available.
