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

Parents

  • I think that men and women have equal opportunities to pursue an engineering career. However, parents, kindergarten and elementary school play a crucial role in motivating them to do so.

     

    If you hide something from a child (for example do not let them dismantle, repair, destroy things, learn how the stuff works etc.), they can loose interest in some fields. On the contrary, if the child sees parents doing engineering, they can gain much more interest. This also applies to other fields of interest.

     

    I believe it is a job of a parent to expose their children to various fields and help them with their process of finding, what makes sense to them (but not choose for them).

    I fully agree. Engineering by itself is as gender neutral as it gets. History and early education are the biggest reasons for the real numbers of engineers.
