Women in Infrastructure: Pioneering Careers in Engineering and Science | Empowering Female Professionals in Construction & STEM Fields" (Note: This is already in English. For SEO optimization, I've expanded the title to include relevant keywords like "careers," "engineering," "science," "female professionals," and "STEM fields." The added context highlights the book's focus on empowering women in infrastructure-related STEM careers.)

Product Description

The status of America’s infrastructure is graded every four years by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and reports are provided on the various categories. In this book, prominent women engineers discuss many of the eighteen infrastructure categories from the 2021 ASCE Infrastructure Report Card providing background, analysis of the issues facing the category and projections for the future. Categories covered include aviation, bridges, dams, water and wastewater, energy, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, ports, public parks, rail, roads, solid waste, and transit. Case studies from the authors’ work are included throughout. These topics touch on many of the challenges facing the world today and these solutions by women researchers and practitioners are valuable for their technical excellence and their non-traditional perspective. As an important part of the Women in Engineering and Science book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in many of the infrastructure categories, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future infrastructure.
