Do you want to tell us a bit about yourself Patricia. Hi I'm Patricia Ashman.
I'm a mechanical engineer and associate head of engineering at the school of mechanical, aerospace and automotive engineering.
at Coventry University
 
some of the things that we do at
Coventry University is promote the
science subjects like engineering
mathematics computing out to the
community and coming to Rugby
library and seeing the work that they do
you support a lot of initiatives we do
and I've just enjoyed an amazing
presentation by an actress who portrayed
story of Ada Lovelace and how important she
was to the development of computing
languages and the whole concept of computer and mathematical analysis
excited very impressed that this kind of
outreach work is going on within the
library system it also as I said
supports a lot of the work that we do at
Coventry University in conjunction with
tata technologies we are proud to
award 30 scholarships a year to female
students in the science and STEM
subjects like science technology
engineering mathematics and we award
them scholarships of £1000 a
year and also engage them to work with
community outreach to inspire more girls
to look at these kind of subject areas
for their future careers.
