Vera Helfrid Victoria Sandberg (born 23 May 1895 at Hångers gård (Eng:Hångers farm) in Ljungby; died 24 December 1979 in Stockholm) was a Swedish engineer. In 1917, she became Sweden's first female engineer.
Vera Sandberg grew up at Långasjönäs in Asarums parish in the province of Blekinge. When she entered Chalmers University of Technology in 1914 she was the only woman among 500 male students.[1] In 1917, she achieved her degree in chemistry, and after that she started working at AB Skandinaviska Raffineriet in Partille, as well as positions at Oljefabriken i Karlshamn, Helsingborgs Gummifabrik and at Sieverts Kabelverk in Sundbyberg. She married engineer Ragnar Adolf Resare in 1937. The couple resided in Storfors for several years, when she mainly focused on her family. Until 1965 she was part-owner of Långasjönäs Pappersbruk and was included in the board on a regular basis.
Vera Sandberg has given her name to several things, among other:
In June 2019, a statue was unveiled in her honour by Chalmers University of Technology on Vera Sandberg Avenue in Gothenburg, created by sculptor Jan Cardell.[3]
