Abstract :
Maryam Mohamed Al-Jallaf\´s curiosity to explore new fields led to her becoming an engineer. "The engineering field was relatively new and featured few females at that time in this part of the world," she says of the Middle East. "Also, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was growing rapidly in the industrial sector, and engineering is one of the key areas of expertise for bringing new plans and ideas to bear, thereby participating meaningfully in this remarkable growth."
