Whataccounts for these differences?It has been postulated that women may not be attracted into engineering because they don’t see astrong human connection of the profession, and desire to positively impact society throughservice.3 For example, students entering the Master’s International Program at MichiganTechnology University to earn an M.S. in civil or environmental engineering were interviewed.The students who had first degrees in engineering, but not in civil or environmental engineering,indicated they were seeking a connection between engineering and social
