Abertay University is at the forefront of a major national effort to encourage more women into engineering.
The industry is traditionally seen as male-dominated, but the university believes there are huge opportunities for talented young women.
It will be staging an event on June 23 as part of the “Gender Balance – Building the Future” campaign and National Women in Engineering Day 2016.
The aim is to encourage a range of people, with a particular focus on women, to learn about local and national opportunities and the careers that can be made within the industry.
A range of speakers will be at the event, including some of the profession’s leading women, and there will also be networking opportunities.
Event organiser Dr Rebecca Wade said: “Here at Abertay we have three women on our engineering staff, but the profession is still viewed as a male-dominated one.
“Few female students consider civil engineering as a career option, despite getting the appropriate qualifications, such as maths and science.
“This year we have seven female students graduating out of almost 40, but some years we have none, so part of the reason we are marking National Women in Engineering Day is to inspire more girls to apply.
“Women make great engineers and there are some fantastic jobs out there for the taking, so we want to make sure that the next generation know about them, have the skills and knowledge to be able to apply for them, and are aware that they are more than capable of doing any engineering job.”
The event takes place at Abertay between 2.30pm and 5pm.
