ON THE RECORD PEOPLE EDITION
As D'Souza said, her goal is to encourage wom-
en to be confident in their own achievements
and stand up for themselves, rather than to look
after everyone else.
"I would like them to formally take more chal-
lenge in presenting their work," she said. "I'm
trying to build up the fact that they have to
nurture themselves and get them ready for the
future."
Amy Fiscor, 38, is the acting regional maintenance
supervisor for the Tennessee Department of Trans-
portation, and has been in the civil engineering
field for the last ij years. She worked her way up to
her position, putting in 120 percent, she said, over
her other coworkers, who are mostly male.
But she is harder on the female engineers than
the male, she said. Eiscor relied on her confi-
dence and ability in her work when she started,
and continues to spread some simple advice to
fellow women in the math and sciences fields.
"Don't play the girl card," Fiscor said. "You'll
lose the respect."
Fiscor remembers her own time in the tes-
tosterone-heavy classes while she attended the
University ofTennessee. She said she was loosely
involved with the Society of Women Engineers
chapter there and still vouches for the group's
mission.
"It really is good because you have a support
network of women around you," Fiscor said.
