Abstract :
When confronted by the low numbers of women in engineering (see Figure 1), a good question to ask is why? Why are there so few women becoming professionals in electrical and electronics engineering? I recently visited my alma mater. When I asked the Department head of Electrical Engineering (a woman incidentally) how many women were completing their undergraduate degrees, I was told that it was pretty much the same number of graduates when I was there: around 5%. Things do not seem to be changing over the years: why?
