Description
An account of the resource
These cadettes with their hair wrapped in a turban and wearing eye protection, are working on the tail of a wrecked plane in the Welding Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Building. One of the projects for the five-week laboratory course was making a rudder pedal by welding the necessary parts.
During World War II, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation sponsored an engineering program for women students at several American universities, including Iowa State University. The Curtiss-Wright Engineering Cadettes were trained in drafting, stress analysis, materials lab, aerodynamics, and production liaison. Once the program was completed, the cadettes received an engineering certificate. The cadettes were not fully trained engineers, but were given adequate training so that they could assist engineers with their jobs. The company hoped their engineers would be able to accomplish more in less time with the aid of trained assistants. The courses began on February 15, 1943 with 100 cadets enrolled. When the course was completed 90 women out of the original 100 graduated, with 84 of the graduates being employed at the Curtiss-Wright Corporation plant in St. Louis.

Betty Cue, a stenographer at the Memorial Union, is seated showing a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk model plane to a cadette who is sitting on the floor in front of a fireplace. The plane has a wood framework with a paper exterior with a wind up, rubber-band driven propeller. A poster on the left side of the mantel reads, ""Keep Mum Chum"" and the one on the right reads, ""Curtiss for Victory with C.E.S.""

An account of the resource
On the blackboard is the organization for one of the laboratory periods. The cut and formed parts are on the table for inspection before assembling begins. Two cadettes are standing to the left of the blackboard and two are seated on a table to the right of the blackboard. Each cadette is holding a part. There are tools hanging in cases on both sides of the blackboard.
During World War II, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation sponsored an engineering program for women students at several American universities, including Iowa State University. The Curtiss-Wright Engineering Cadettes were trained in drafting, stress analysis, materials lab, aerodynamics, and production liaison. Once the program was completed, the cadettes received an engineering certificate. The cadettes were not fully trained engineers, but were given adequate training so that they could assist engineers with their jobs. The company hoped their engineers would be able to accomplish more in less time with the aid of trained assistants. The courses began on February 15, 1943 with 100 cadets enrolled. When the course was completed 90 women out of the original 100 graduated, with 84 of the graduates being employed at the Curtiss-Wright Corporation plant in St. Louis.
