and Renewable Engineering programs havea high female enrollment at more than 35%. We also surveyed first-year female students regarding theirchoice of major. When asked what type of jobs they see themselves in, our female students who wereaccepted into engineering but decided to go to a non-engineering field, often responded that they wantedto be in people-engaged and environmentally responsible careers. They felt engineering would confinethem in solitary cubicles working alone with machines—a common stereotype of engineering. While thestereotyping factor can only be resolved when there are more female engineers in the workforce, theenvironmental- and people-related factors should be used to close the gender gap in engineering.Based on this
