Gender

[Guest guest]

Thanks for that reference, I'll be scooping it.

When you refer to male dominated engineering, I hope you're referring to

real engineering and not technitioning. Find me a " heating engineer " and

can of spray paint and I'll vandalise the vandalism. People who put

engineer after every technition like task need to be sent to France and

charge with their crimes there.

Lack of female role models, inherent male culture in engineering etc etc.

There may be plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with predispositions

towards certains tasks.

 

If you looks at 'hard' science subjects such as neuroscience, that include

just as much maths, programming and logical analysis, at least half are

women.

 

If you're interested in the subject there's an excellent books by Margeret

Wertheim called " In Pythagarus' Trousers " that traces the role of women in

physics and engineering.
