Abstract

Cultural differences Developing countries Education Electrical engineering Engineering profession Europe Force
This paper raises questions related to the lagging participation of women in the engineering profession from the point of view of an engineering educator, a foreign-born engineer, a wife, and a mother. An attempt is made to pinpoint factors which appear to hinder the entry of women into engineering and especially prevent them from considering the academic option. Views from a different cultural and social environment may elucidate issues by bringing a new perspective. This in turn may help single out and focus on possible underlying causes.
