This is silly. Women, in general, are not that interested in engineering but those who are interested, are interested because they have the aptitude and skill set to be successful engineers; they already go into engineering, have done so for many many years, and furthermore they are good at it!
I was friends with the first female that went to my alma mater (she was a bit older than me). There were numerous gals when I went, but some of the guys’ attitudes were demeaning to them.
I would comment “Heck - I’m not going to demean them. One of them might be my boss some day!” (I was on the median side of things for overall GPA).
A buddy of mine married one of the cutest gals at the school. She’s some big wig at an oil company now.
