Vogt Engineering Recognizes International Women in Engineering Day

June 23, 2021

Inspiring Future Generations of Women Engineers

June 23rd is celebrated as the “International Women in Engineering Day” around the world every year. The day is used to celebrate the impressive and inspiring women in engineering careers and is designed to raise awareness of women in engineering while bringing attention to the career opportunities available to future generations in this exciting industry. 


The future strength of the engineering profession will come from an engineering workforce that mirrors the population it serves -- and women make up 49% of the population. It is an exciting time to be an engineer and female engineers are certainly in great demand as data from November 2019 shows only 13% of engineers today are women. Engineering plays a pivotal role in the development of our society and we hope to see opportunities for women continue to increase in the future. 


Engineering at the Core


Engineering is all around us, is pivotal to our society and the inner workings of our communities.  The word engineering comes from the Latin “ingenium” meaning cleverness and from the word “ingeniare” meaning to design or devise.  Smart Designers. Engineering is the skillset to build anything you dream up in your head. Engineers combine creativity, innovation, and problem-solving ingenuity to make people's lives easier.


Daily Uses of Engineering


Civil engineers design, build, and maintain the foundation for our modern society – our roads and bridges, drinking water and energy systems, and the infrastructure for a cleaner environment, to name just a few.



Although our favorite area of study is Civil Engineering, we encourage all of you to marvel at the advancements in society through the contributions of all engineers. Mechanical and electrical engineers design and advance air conditioning and refrigeration but can also design medical equipment and devices that improve patient care as well as remote control cars our children play with. Chemical engineers play a role in the food, drinks, and cleansing products we use daily. Computer and software engineers develop and advance programs that make computers and apps run more efficiently and safely. 


Let’s encourage the next generation of female engineers to get excited about shaping the world and engineering our future.

Vogt Engineering Celebrates National Bike Month

By Tiffany Marascio • May 17, 2024
May is National Bike Month, but Vogt Engineering celebrates and encourages biking all year. Our team enjoys using our office bikes to get out and experience nature, taking advantage of our central location in The Woodlands Town Center. About National Bike Month National Bike Month, after many previous iterations, was officially established in 1956. Today, National Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists , which incorporates accessible ways to start biking by hosting smaller experiences such as National Bike to Work Week (usually held the third week of May), and Bike to Work Day (usually that Friday). Health Benefits According to the Harvard School of Public Health , biking can help “improve mental health by lowering stress levels and stimulating feel-good endorphins.” Other health benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness stronger muscles greater coordination and general mobility reduced body fat Vogt's Commitment to our Team and the Environment One of Vogt Engineering’s major considerations when looking for an office was easily accessible trails for riding bikes and walking. We are fortunate to have found a great place to be with our great team of people. Not only is biking and being outdoors good for mental and physical health, but we value working with the environment in everything we do. Although many civil engineering projects require earth movement, Vogt is committed to finding solutions that complement the natural surroundings of the site. Get Involved There are many local entities that organize Bike Month events, including The Woodlands, Harris County Precinct 3 (at Burroughs Park), and more.
