My daughter was on the ABC National News last night while at her summer engineering program at NJ Institute of Technology. The segment highlighted a study released yesterday in the Journal of Science that researchers say the gender gap in math & science has been closed.

Sue proud you should be and are. Very nice to see and as a long time engineer way over due. There's no good reason for it.

Cecil, I am an Engineer and proud of it. I met my hubby at work. Besides being a cool career, I was the only woman in the dept. for both companies (IBM and Intel) I worked for and had my pick of dates!

Hubby is an engineer - and just by looking at Quinn - definitely in his cards. Kedron is showing similarities, I so hope she goes that path. Riker, he will be the one operating the wrecking ball LOL!! Or pressing the TNT button .

Nice profile picture. My field is a desert for females, I do microwave engineering (and no I do not make ovens).

thanks everyone. It made me forget my horrible (2.5 hour vs typical 1 hr) yesterday morning. For the past 4 years (now 15, starting sophomore yr), she wants to go into mechanical engineering. She's a well-rounded kid, so we'll see what college she lands at in 3 years.

Congrats, Sue! I just read about it on the internet news this morning. Wishing the best for your daughter, very lucrative field!

Good for her Sue. I am a graduate of NJ Inst of Tech (as well as from the same school when it was still called Newark College of Engineering). My wife has a BS and MS in Engineering from there as well and our oldest daughter has a masters in aerospace engineering with her BS in mechanical eng. So, "girls" can indeed make it in the world of engineering. The ratio of female/male is much, much higher than it used to be when I was in school.

Sue, some food for thought. Drexel, in Philadelphia, Renseler in New York State, and Carnegie-Mellon in Pittsburgh. All great schools.

By Cecil (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #6681) on Monday, July 28, 2008 - 8:08 am: |
Hey don't forget my Alma Mater, Georgia Tech.

By Sue from NJ (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #792) on Monday, July 28, 2008 - 9:15 am: |
She hates warm weather, so she has no interest going south of NJ, so her short list includes MIT, Cornell, Lehigh, Renseler and Rochester. Guess we should add Drexel & Carnegie-Mellon, although she thinks the latter is not the strongest ME program.

There's also Worchester Poly Tech in Worchester, Mass. My nephew is a grad......
