KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- Women electrical engineers are few in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Shafak Pervez should know--she is one of them. She is also the kind of woman who thrives on new experiences that engage her mind and help other people simultaneously. For Pervez, 34, learning new things and staying busy is a priority and that's the reason she joined the USACE team. "I get bored working on same type of projects and was looking for something that would provide variety and freedom to move around. I love the type of work USACE does - we are everywhere!"
