Structural engineering firms may expect more women civil engineers to join the field in the coming years if recent numbers and perspectives are any indication. In fact, some of these firms have been established (and owned) by women.
Recent data from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) shows a boost in the number of women taking degrees in civil engineering within recent years. From 13.5% of women who began their civil engineering studies in 2007, that number grew to 20.3% in 2016. Within that reporting period for any year, the highest number of women students is 875.
Some data from some schools in the United States share similarities to the above result. Per 2015 federal data, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows female Bachelor of Engineering graduates at more than 50%. In Yale University, women engineering graduate numbers reach 49%.
New Hampshire’s Dartmouth College even claims a first for any U.S.-based research university: its 2016 women engineering graduates outnumbered their male counterparts for that same school year. Read more from this blog. http://bit.ly/2lKD4I3
