Fouad, et al. completed alongitudinal study that included surveying 5,562 women who graduated with a bachelor’s degreein engineering1. The women that had obtained engineering degrees were sorted into threecategories: those that did not pursue a career in engineering after graduation (10% of the womensurveyed), those that left the engineering profession (27%), and those that stayed (60%) (doesnot equal 100% because of rounding)1.
