Grace Fenton Roberts was the first woman to graduate from the College of Engineering at the University of Idaho, graduating in 1938. Unfortunately, not much is known about her exact degree program or what she went on to do with her degree.

The College of Engineering went on to include women in their degree programs. Pictured here are students in a women’s auto mechanic course in the 1940s during WWII.
