Engineering has always been a male-dominated profession. However, universities and the engineering industry have begun to recognize the need for women engineers and are actively recruiting young women at high school level to enter the field.
Young girls in high school have been found to be as strong in mathematics and sciences as boys but their interests have traditionally been redirected to English and the social sciences due to traditional thinking that engineering is for men. However, engineering graduates have been declining in the past few years while the need for engineers has increased. In fact there is a grave shortage of civil engineers.
