Glowing Engineering My Life My Journey into Civil Engineering One Friday morning, I heard a knock and my father called me for a discussion. My heart raced, as these early meetings usually meant something serious. As I prepared to see him, I reviewed my recent actions and found nothing amiss. When I joined him, he spoke about my choice of an engineering career. “I know you wanted electrical engineering, but I’ve seen many women excel in civil engineering,” he said. He pointed out that Ghana was a developing country in need of infrastructure, creating more opportunities in civil engineering. Given my love for building, he suggested it might be a better fit.
