The reasons behind the small number of women in engineering were analyzed. The main reason was found to be a general lack of encouragement to go into the field of engineering. Teachers should take steps in promoting interest to both their male and female students. Schools may invite speakers to inform students about the engineering profession. Parents must also become aware of the various career opportunities avaliable to inform their daughters of the many choices they have.
