Do you think women are fully supported to pursue an engineer career?

If not - tell us how you think they should be in the comments below

  • They're totally not supported from what little I can tell. Probably needs a woman to tell.

    In the workplace, I see groups of male engineers huddled together discussing things, forgetting their female engineers in the room. I've seen this quite a few times.

    It's an uphill struggle to acquire information and progress in this manner.

    Then the online forums are disgustingly sexist (not to mention xenophobic and casually racist). Thankfully we don't overtly see it here.

    I think you are lucky to have even worked with female engineers, I never have so I do not even know if I would be sexist and exclude them - for all I know we (male) engineers might all be sexist. I've never had a female boss either although I did have a few female colleagues (lecturers). I have never done a diversity course, although I did an anti-corruption one once.
