One notable Black female engineer in Black history is Annie Easley. She was an African American computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist who worked at NASA, specifically at the Lewis Research Center (now known as the Glenn Research Center) in Cleveland, Ohio.

Annie Easley started her career as a human computer performing complex mathematical calculations for researchers at the agency. She later transitioned to becoming a computer programmer, working on various projects including developing and implementing computer code for simulation software used in alternative energy research.

Easley's work was instrumental in helping to advance the field of aerospace engineering and technology. She faced numerous challenges as a Black woman working in a predominantly white and male-dominated industry but she persevered, breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations of women and minorities in engineering.

Annie Easley's contributions to the field of engineering and her legacy as a trailblazer in STEM fields are a testament to the important role that Black women have played in shaping the landscape of science and technology.
