Did you know...Women make up just a small percentage of working engineers.  For example, they are just 6% of mechanical engineers and 7% of all electrical engineers. In contrast, they account for 24% of chief executive officers, 30% of lawyers and 32% of physicians and surgeons. They fare even better in some science and engineering occupations, such as psychologists, accounting for two-thirds of those working.
