This is the second book in the series "Girls Can Be", by author Melissa Edison. Girls Can Be Industrial Engineers introduces STEM and Industrial Engineering to readers.

The book stars a young girl named Hannah who is in search of a career for her school's upcoming Career Day. Each time she chooses a career, she becomes discouraged because her chosen careers seem to be only for boys. With the help of her mother, a structural engineer, she learns she can do anything despite her gender.

This book presents a diversity of innovative and impactful research in the field of industrial and systems engineering (ISE) led by women investigators. After a Foreword by Margaret L. Brandeau, an eminent woman scholar in the field, the book is divided into the following sections: Analytics, Education, Health, Logistics, and Production. Also included is a comprehensive biography on the historic luminary of industrial engineering, Lillian Moeller Gilbreth. Each chapter presents an opportunity to learn about the impact of the field of industrial and systems engineering and women’s important contributions to it. Topics range from big data analysis, to improving cancer treatment, to sustainability in product design, to teamwork in engineering education. A total of 24 topics touch on many of the challenges facing the world today and these solutions by women researchers are valuable for their technical innovation and excellence and their non-traditional perspective. Found within each author’s biography are their motivations for entering the field and how they view their contributions, providing inspiration and guidance to those entering industrial engineering.

Although once considered a field mainly for men, women can look for all kinds of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers. Engineering has many opportunities for girls who enjoy STEM topics. This book covers many engineering career opportunities, with workplaces ranging from a laboratory to deep space. It also offers suggestions as to how readers can turn their dreams into dream careers, such as which classes to take in school, scholarships available specifically for women, and college majors and classes that will be instructive, interesting, and give girls a step up to feel confident in trying out a cool engineering career.

Career success guide for female engineers.

This book, based on a conference, examines both quantitative and qualitative evidence regarding the low employment of women scientists and engineers in the industrial work force of the United States, as well as corporate responses to this underparticipation. It addresses the statistics underlying the question "Why so few?" and assesses issues related to the working environment and attrition of women professionals.
