Education

B.S. Mechanical Engineering from Iowa State in May. Her class was about 15% women. Both her head and the dean of engineering were women

She found the faculty to be supportive of her efforts. Her biggest problem came when she was registering for the first semester. Because she finished about two years of engineering school while still in high school she wanted to take the Sophomore Design class which is taken 2nd semester of sophomore year. The woman advisor said she should not do it because she would be in a class with older men.

She did get registered and graduated after two years magna cum laude.
