If more women were interested in engineering, there would be more women engineers.
It's not like they're being held back. If you want to place the fault somewhere, blame it on parents who think they need to raise kids one way or the other based on gender.
Remember the Barbie doll that said, "Math is hard!" when you pulled the string? No kidding.
In fact, unfairly, some universities are choosing women over men because of their gender.
This is not the way to choose students to fill a limited number of slots.
Imagine if it was the other way around and someone was NOT chosen because they were a woman. Isn't that the same as the man not being chosen simply so a woman can have a slot?
For the same reason that most bio majors and psychology majors are women.
Throughout the history of women. Females always tend to be nurses, secretaries, customer service, bank tellers, etc. Men have always been in engineering and management and construction.
Even though society allows women to do whatever they want now. Many women are still raised with old fashioned thinking that women should go into interior design or architecture or nursing.
That's because women aren't interested in engineering and science. But I heard that petroleum and nuclear engineering consist mostly men.
Can someone answer my questions? It's very urgent.
It is because there are not enough women who have an interest in engineering. There are certainly lots who are capable of being engineers but are discouraged by family, their peers, the lack of more women in the profession, etc.
the women folk tend to be drawn to more domestic duties, eg cooking, or the modern equivalent of nutrition. With changing times however we may experience more women in currently male dominated industries in the future.
I notice that men are likely to do engineering major than women.
