Young Ghanaian woman Ivana Barley has graduated Cum Laude from Ashesi University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Engineering has been a male-dominated industry for many years but women today are working to break into the world of engineering, to make their marks. With access to quality education and relevant internship opportunities, much is being accomplished by women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
