Engineering and the Vera Bradley Index

The campus bookstore at the traditional engineering universities, Georgia Tech, Purdue, RPI, UMR, Harvey Mudd, etc., provides an interesting view of the changing face of engineering and the STEMs.  Long gone are the bookstores that offer only the items one might find in the male dorm room.  A important indicator of the opportunities and success women face in the STEMs might be the number of Vera Bradley items offered at a Georgia Tech or a Purdue.

The Vera Bradley Index is one metric that honestly measures the changing face of engineering.
