The Real Reason Female Engineers Are Still a Rarity in the U.K.Many countries seek to increase women in engineering.One approach would be to improve the image of the profession to young women in school

There's no denying that there is a gender imbalance when it comes to engineering.In the U.K.,only 12 percent of engineers are female.A quick Google search on the matter will bring up countless articles busting myths about STEM subjects being a man's domain(in fact,female students often outperform their male classmates in these subjects).More often than not such reports point at a seemingly endless number of barriers presented to women who would otherwise become engineers-a lack of role models,sexism in the workplace,a concern over progression prospects.
