Today is International Women in Engineering Day – a commemoration that is just 12 years old. Long before there was any specific recognition for women in engineering careers, many women were quietly making an impact with visionary thinking and hard work.

For example, Virginia Norwood designed the first space-based multispectral scanner that flew on the first Landsat—an instrument that went on to define many aspects of modern remote sensing.

Surveying is continually leveraging new technologies to do the job faster and even more precisely. Through it all, Berntsen is right beside surveyors, providing trusted, innovative products – including our Rothbucher line.
