This comment is purely anecdotal, but during my college years, undergrad and masters, I could count on one hand the number of women in any of my engineering courses. That being said, one of the best students in any of these classes was a female...she deserved to be there. Since there were few women engineering students, would it not stand reason that there would be few female engineering Profs...I only knew one, who happened to be one of my advisers. In my liberal arts classes the reverse was true...the classes were mostly made up of women. Considering the growth industry non-science degree options, would it not stand to reason that most of the degrees conferred go to women? I have no numbers to back this up, this is purely my impression.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks neverdem. The study was controversial from the beginning. John Tierney of the New York Times interviewed several researchers who dismissed it as politically driven propaganda -- the "triumph of politics over science." Linda Gottfredson of the University of Delaware said, "I am embarrassed that this female-dominated panel of scientists would ignore decades of scientific evidence to justify an already disproved conclusion, namely, that the sexes do not differ in career-relevant interests and abilities."
