Elin Jacobsson (1886 – 1978), was one of the first two women to graduate from a Swedish educational program as a civil engineer.

[1][2] Jacobsson entered the Technical School in Stockholm (now called Konstfack) which had established a department for "female disciples" nearly five decades earlier in 1859.

[4][5] That programme provided a three-year training course for students hoping to become supervisors in the construction industry.

After having to get special permission from the school's board because they were women, the two students completed the mandatory six-month masonry internship, which was done in the "utmost secrecy" in the basement.

[1][4] In the 1910 census, Jacobsson is listed as a drawing assistant,[2] and the next year, on 18 February 1911, she received an employment offer from architect Axel Brunskog in Linköping.
