She never dreamed having her picture taken to recruit engineers would turn out to be a controversy.

When Isis Wenger agreed to be part of a recruiting campaign for engineers, she never imagined she’d face the controversy that arose.

What exactly was it about this image that had people clamoring to dissect her involvement? Did she say something messed up about engineering? Did she do something offensive in her pose?

All of the hubbub is over what she looks like. Because she’s a woman. 

Now the hashtag #ILookLikeAnEngineer is taking off, showing that engineers come in all genders, shapes, skin colors, and sizes.
