OT Amy, <I think it was in 1999, one of the heads at MIT said their incoming freshman enrollment was 50% women/50% men in their engineering courses.> That's a step, but let's try convincing those women to stay the course and not drop out of engineering after freshman year. I think attrition is still too high among female engineering students. Also, there is wide variation in the M/F ratio among the various engineering disciplines. All my EE courses at 300-level and above had the men outnumbering the women 9:1. The ratio is more balanced among Chem.E's and Operational Research and Industrial Engineering (ORIE, a.k.a. "Oh Really It's Engineering?"). That makes me wonder. Tenchusatsu
