Advancing Women In Construction Club At ASU Encourages Women To Break Barriers
The relatively small number of females in the building professions has kept many women from pursuing or remaining in careers in the construction industry. At ASU, the student Advancing Women In Construction club, which is associated with the National Association of Women in Construction, is working to reverse the trend. Commenting on the challenges facing women in their fields are club members Abby Noel, a civil engineering undergrad, Megan Mehas, a construction management and technology undergrad, and doctoral student Monica Perrin, an assistant teaching professor and construction management graduate student in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, one of the Fulton Schools, which includes the Del E. Web School of Construction.
