Women are underrepresented in engineering education and practice, which limits the quality of the engineering workforce. One way to increase the participation of women in engineering is to emphasize subjects that appeal to them and require skills at which they are especially adept. A subject that may fit this description is sustainability. To examine whether the subject of sustainability may help increase the participation of women in engineering, the purpose of this research is to compare the percentage of women in selected sustainable engineering leadership positions with the percentage of women in general engineering leadership positions. Gender data were collected …

New environmental regulations on toxic and greenhouse gas emissions by cement manufacturers present the U.S. cement industry with significant challenges. This paper describes the current regulatory climate and describes a number of opportunities in which manufacturers can become more efficient in both energy and materials use. Ultimately, the new regulatory climate is seen as an opportunity for the industry to undertake long overdue modernization.
