Abstract
The main goal of this project is to provide a guide for young women who are pursuing a degree in the aerospace engineering field. When I was a first-year aerospace engineering student at Iowa State University, I had no idea what aerospace engineering was and how to overcome the obstacle of being a minority. This survival guide will provide advice and lessons-learned from other women who have had similar experiences and overcame the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry. The information has been gathered into both a brochure with main pieces of advice that can be distributed and a website that has details for people that want to learn more. Any young woman will be ready to take on a career path in aerospace engineering with help from my survival guide.
