AS A RULE, I think women don’t apply for UT engineering unless they have pretty decent stats. I think it’s a self-selecting process. I find it’s still kind of a hard-sell to get a lot of young women to go into engineering (I try, since I’m an older female engineer). I find it hard to believe that I’m still the only female at a lot of structural engineering association meetings up here. What the heck? Lately, there has been one other woman, at least, but she’s even older than I am!
