Some key factors that contribute to the genderdifference in entry to engineering and technology areas are gender stereotypes anddiscrimination, perceiving engineering as a profession for men, lack of encouragement,inaccurate information about the variety of careers available, negative beliefs about women’sabilities in STEM areas, and

While women are more likely than everto enter most STEM fields at the undergraduate level[2], the number of women who go intoacademic positions and then climb the academic ranks is rather dismal.
