Gender in Engineering Education

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the persistent gender imbalance in engineering, emphasizing the need for equal opportunities rather than just equal numbers. It delves into the historical, cultural, and organizational factors contributing to the under-representation of women in engineering education. A key focus is on the detrimental effects of outdated gender stereotypes and perceptions of engineering. The author argues for changing these stereotypes to attract more women into the field, while also advocating for the importance of individual career choice. Targeted at engineers, educators, feminists, and policymakers, it aims to foster discussion and action towards gender equity in engineering.
