Why aren't there more women occupying engineering jobs?

The problem starts with the discouragement girls feel when they're little regarding this issue; I can still remember hearing my teachers telling me and other students in my class, that men are smarter than women and that the male brain can deal with math and science better than the female brain.

Not to mention, the lack of female role models in these fields. Women would rather go to a major they'd get higher grades in because if they are to receive C grades, people will keep telling them that this isn't the place for you.

Furthermore, the engineering industry advertises itself in a way that's only appealing to males. Women care about the social aspect of any major they study, but when it comes to engineering, it's all about technical issues. If engineering schools want to attract more female students, then they should change the way it advertise the industry they represent. Yes, engineering is about technical issues, but it's also about social change, there's a deep philosophy behind every process engineers go through.

Highlight these philosophies, show the social impact of this industry, stop telling young girls that they're less competent or that men are smarter than them, and most importantly, celebrate the great female engineers the way you celebrate great male engineers, so girls can have a role model to look up to.

The subject of women's jobs in the engineering fields is related to the quality and nature of the engineering field. Most engineering fields such as electricity, civil engineering, geotechnics, oil, gas, etc. require hard work that does not suit the delicate nature of women. There are engineering fields suitable for women more than men, such as medical engineering, nutrition engineering, plastic engineering, textile engineering and many other fields of engineering.

Its not applicable for all sectors of engineering e.g information technology, Architecture etc, however it is true in case field intensive sectors where workers are mostly men. Moreover working sites itself often creates difficulties for women . The recent trends are not complying above. Women in engineering job is increasing noticeabily .

may be you speak about site engineer job beacause it is littel more diddicult but for design the are a lot of women in this engineering field.

In my point of u women are not that sharp in logical subjects like maths etc as compared to men that is the reason moreover women often feel marginalized, especially during internships, other summer work opportunities, or teambased educational activities. In those situations, gender dynamics seem to generate more opportunities for men to work on the most challenging problems, while women tend to be assigned routine tasks or simple managerial duties.

Of course I support the work of the woman in the field of design or office work that does not require physical and physical effort because the mirror is inherently thin and tender

And when mixed with the workers and industrial technicians may gain something from the glut is characterized by this class of men lose something important is Ramnseh and Hanieh and this is what we miss all the time in the sites and we promise to go home to look for

So, if you are my brother, the engineer, you and your wife are working on the site and you are dealing with a site engineer who is not your wife at the site and how you will deal with her at home

In addition to the work of sites will lose sight of its vitality and vitality through the increase in the talk with workers and visibility over the walls and walls

Do not forget my brothers that we are in Arab countries and we have not reached urbanization and progress until we deal with the tender sex with respect. Once the engineer arrives at the work site and when the views differ with the teachers or technicians, do not rule out ... It is the door of embarrassment, or other senses, we are Arabs

But I prefer to have the office work in the designs or the preparation of studies or time programs and other office work

This has to do with socialization which means the way we are raised. We are raised in a way that dictates to us that we are not only different physically but also different in capabilities.

We are taught that men have more strength and intellectual capabilities. This can be substantiated by the evidence that when we were still growing up, girls would play with dolls, while boys played with guns and cars. This socialization taught girls that there are to be mothers and they nurture so much during this time. This results in them choosing jobs that are nurturing including nursing, teaching, psychologists, etc.

Boys on the other hand playing with cars makes them to be engaged mentally as they dismantle and try to bring together what they dismantled. Playing with guns makes them to aspire to be brave and they push so hard to become victorious in this game. This can not be disputed as in real life the boys later on they become competitive and tend to venture into more challenging jobs.

As for being socialized that men have more strength, a lot of you will remember that starting at primary when a table needed to be moved the teacher will call on a group of male students rather than female students. This  sent a clear message that males have more strength than females. As a society lets know that it is the smallest things that do matter.

The gender imbalance in the engineering industry will not go away overnight, but that shouldn't be a reason for women to write off a career in the field.

At the same time, Engineering continues to be an industry with a demonstrated need for skilled professionals in many markets across the world. 

 

Women who are looking for a career in which they can be challenged by diverse opportunities, or those who are motivated by varied learning experiences, may find that entering the engineering industry will help to fulfill that need.
