Movement for peoples interested in fostering diversity in civil engineering and related fields. We lo

Girls in Civil (GIC) started in the Civil Engineering and Surveying Department at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez Campus. In December 2019, we made it official with our first meeting. And after that, we have been growing to reach more people on and off of our campus.

Did you know that Nora Stanton Barney broke barriers in engineering long before it was common for women? 🎓

She became Cornell’s first female civil engineering graduate, and later became the first woman to join the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Have you ever thought about how different countries license engineers? 🌎

The process (and even the credential itself) looks completely different depending on where you are.
Some countries license by exam, others by years of training + interview, and a few don’t even have a legally protected title for “engineer.” If you are thinking of working abroad, your engineering career doesn’t have to stop at your border.

📝 Share in the comments below, are you licensed in more than one country? Or what countries did we miss?

One of the things that makes Girls in Civil so special is the community behind it. 💗

You show up for us, cheer us on, share your stories, and remind us why this community matters. And just as much as you’re here for us, we want you to know that we’re here for you, too.

Because Girls in Civil has never been just about the four of us. It’s about all of us. ✨

🎙️ Hear more of this conversation in the final episode of *Building Conversations with Girls in Civil*.

🎙️ SEASON 3 FINALE IS HERE! 💛

For our final episode, it’s just the four women behind Girls in Civil talking about where we thought we’d be, where we are now, and what we hope to build next.

We’re talking unexpected career paths, friendship, community, and how Girls in Civil has grown alongside us.

🎧 No Set Plans: Building What Comes Next

Because not everything we build comes with a set of plans, and maybe that’s the best part. ✨

We’ve been talking a lot about career mapping this year, and one part of it is easy to overlook: keeping track of the career you’re already building. 🗂️✨

A lot of career advice focuses on what you should do next. But sometimes, one of the best things you can do is simply keep track of what you’re already doing.

Projects, classes, internships, technical skills, people you’ve met, lessons learned, accomplishments… It’s surprisingly easy to forget how much you’ve actually done.

And those experiences can later become the stories you use in a résumé, interview, portfolio, grad school application, or even as you work toward professional licensure. 📄🎓

That’s the idea behind a Civil Engineer Career Folder 📁: one place to keep the academic evidence, experience, and career materials that grow with you.

Because career mapping isn’t just about figuring out where you’re going. It’s also about understanding what you’ve already built along the way.

What would you add to yours? 👀

Confidence doesn’t always come first, sometimes, it’s built through evidence. 💙

Every challenge you take on, every step forward, and every time you prove to yourself that you can becomes part of that evidence.

Knowing why you want to pursue the PE is one thing. Finding the time, energy, and headspace to prepare for it is another. 😅

Between full-time work, family, routines, test anxiety, or simply being out of school for a while, studying can feel like a lot, and everyone’s experience looks different.

That’s part of why we partnered with PEwise: to share another prep option for civil engineers trying to make studying fit into real life.

If you’ve taken the PE: what was the hardest part of preparing for you?
If you haven’t: what’s the biggest thing holding you back? 👀

From making your work visible and building meaningful relationships to taking opportunities before you feel completely ready, Lisa shares lessons from four decades of navigating and leading in spaces where she was often the only woman at the table.
