The Gender Gap in Engineering

By Molly Connell

Becoming an engineer is a promising future. The expected yearly salary is high and chances of finding a job is high, since there’s a high demand for engineers in the labor market. According to the prediction of The American Association of University Women, in less than 10 years, the United States will need 1.7 million more engineers and computing professionals!
​So if engineering is such an attractive career path, why are currently only 13% of practicing engineers women? Unfortunately, women are discouraged in many ways to pursue an engineering career. The following infographic made by TradeMachines summarizes the different types of difficulties women face when entering this highly male-dominated field. To help young women facing this issue is a responsibility shared by all of us - take a look yourself and find out more on how you can help!
