A fairer chance

Article Abstract:

The number of women in the engineering profession in UK has been observed to be increasing and is expected to increase further.

However, the percentage is still much lower compared to men and initiatives such as Women into Science and Engineering are striving to encourage women to pursue engineering and technology courses.
