Heard not too many girls do engineering. :C

About 1 in 5 engineering students are female nationally, so yes, chances are you will be greatly outnumbered. Although more females are picking engineering, it's still not a popular choice, unfortunately.

Typically most females in engineering are concentrated in a few majors too.

irrelevant


I can sit in my lectures and bask in the ambiance, and sit smugly while thinking, "Engineers would kill to be in a place like this".

What is it approx

Overall on average, 1:1. Depends based on what major you're doing.

dw about stereotypes, do what you want

I believe that females have got greater scholarships available to them in engineering fields?

 

[iJimmy]

and greater preference?

 

[sirable1]

Apparently, they do. Female engineering students have their scholarship kind.

 

[iJimmy]

i belive it's a Bluescope steel scholarship for females only, i think

Focus on study to land good job and get good pay and work until you retire then you can enjoy life with all that retirement money. Until then you must merely exist to study and work. No exceptions
