Follow up story to my earlier post about the Girls of Engineering calendar:

There was an article in the DI about this a while ago and here are some lovely excerpts. Please read and laugh:

"They're going to be attractive photos," said calendar producer Jen Wood, who is also a University alumna. "I want a lot of sex appeal in the calendar."

Ramaded Hukkeri, the technical director of the project and University graduate said sex appeal is necessary to ensure marketability.

"A lot of what we're looking for is personality," said company partner Syed Karim. "The thing that really sets us apart is that we are really focusing on intelligence."

The young entrepreneurs hope to make a community contribution by promoting the idea of intellectual women. One of the main goals of the calendar is to promote engineering to younger girls.

"I hope it is a great role model for girls who are still in high school and trying to decide what they want to do," Wood said.

Community contribution? Role models? I think not.
