'Lady Engineers'
Return To Campus
Minus Slide Rules
When Curtiss - Wright and
Hamilton .Standard Propellers,
both major aircraft organizations,
assigned several hundred young
women to the College in 1943 to
become “lady engineers,” few of
the girls looked upon it as their
alma mater.
This was war and the young
women were volunteers who had
consented to give up their own
college careers to prepare for
emergency jobs. Their training
was designed to prepare them for
jobs in engineering offices, where
they worked with structures,
weights, designs, and aerodynam
ics.
But they liked their surround
ings, surprised college officials by
their grasp of technical subjects,
and soon left the campus to do
an urgent job in industry. Now,
with the war won, the “lady en
gineers”—Penn State’s feminine
counterpart of the ex-Gl—are re
turning to the campus to complete
their training.
This semester, 11 of the Hamil
ton Standard Propeller and 8 of
the Curtiss-Wright girls are en
rolled at the College. But they
no longer tote slide rules. Twelve
are enrolled in the S’chool of Lib
eral Arts, three in the School of
Chemistry and Physics, two in the
School of Education, and two in
the School of Physical Education
and Athletics.
They range from fourth to
eighth semester students, and
three of them hope to receive
their degrees in February. Only
one of the girls started her college
career here. All of Jihem have
been., acdorded additional credits
for their wartime training, and
all of them are recognized now as
full-fledged Penn Staters.
