- Women_in_engineering_in_the_United_States abstract "Historically, women in the United States have been represented at lower rates than men in both science and engineering college programs and careers. Over time, this pattern has led to a significantly higher concentration of male professional engineers compared to women. Additionally, this disparity has led to careers in Education, History, English, Humanities and the like to be seen as “feminine” careers and areas of study. As a result of these social and historical factors, women’s low participation rates in engineering have been perpetuated over time. Numerous explanations and points of view have been offered to explain women's participation rates in this field. These explanations vary from beliefs regarding women's physiological inability to succeed as engineers, to environmental factors in women's childhoods that discourage them from entering science and engineering fields.Negative perceptions regarding female engineers, stemming from both men and women, have played a significant factor in explaining their low numbers within the field. According to recent statistics, college-educated women are less than half as likely as men to be employed in science and engineering jobs. And among those women employed, it is estimated that they potentially earn as much as 20% less than men. Thus, wage differentials based on gender, is also an issue that has been discussed by scholars.Two forms of activism tasked with raising awareness include both organizations on college campuses and those geared towards society at large.".
