June 23 is International Women in Engineering Day - a day designated to raise the profile of women in engineering and focus attention on engineering as a great career opportunity. It's also a time to celebrate the outstanding achievements of women engineers throughout the world.
In recognition of International Women in Engineering Day, we asked our women engineers to share their stories and tell us why they're proud to be an engineer. At Whirlpool Corporation, we are proud to publicly celebrate the significant and growing population of women engineers and their contributions to developing great products.
