Happy International Women in Engineering Day (INWED)! AMPP Edmonton Chapter works alongside many talented women engineers and we support all women who help make an impact in their various professions.

🌟 Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day! 🌟 Meet Enedina Alves Marques, a trailblazer who made history as the first Black woman to earn an engineering degree in Brazil in 1945. Her perseverance as a devoted educator and civil engineer opened doors for future generations. 💭 Interesting facts: 🔬 Enedina was the sole woman in her engineering class of 32 at the Federal University of Paraná. 🌍 She played a crucial role in the Paraná State's Department of Water and Energy, contributing to significant hydroelectric projects like the Capivari-Cachoeira Plant. 🏅 A street was named after her in 1988 in the Cajuru neighborhood of Curitiba: Rua Engenheira Enedina Alves Marques. Join us in honoring Enedina Alves Marques and the incredible #WomenOfAMPP who break barriers and drive innovation in engineering! 👩🔧✨ #INWED24 #IWIED #WomenInEngineering #Engineering #EngineeringExcellence #EnedinaAlvesMarques #CivilEngineering
