, the female students who excel in mathematics, like those who take calculusin high school, rarely consider engineering as a valuable career. This is obvious from number offemale honor students and the number of women entering engineering. As an example, I noticedthis in the 1995 graduating high school class of Glendale (California): from about 50 female honorstudents only two showed interest in studying engineering. According to National ScienceFoundation (NSF) statistics only 11% of engineering students are female [3].However, I have found from my own experience that many mothers are very enthusiastic whenproperly introduced to experimental aspects of science and engineering.
