Aureale Vann will celebrate International Women in Engineering Day Tuesday as one of thousands of females around the world excelling in a profession still dominated by males.

The fourth year of the international recognition marks a time when the percentage of female and minority engineers is steadily rising.

The society had formed at the end of World War I, when women in England were denied the opportunity to continue in engineering after they had filled in for men gone to battle.
