Face it, men are much more inclined to be geeks. In the last ten years, that ratio has changed significantly. Like I have said before on this thread, girls have closed the gap with boys in science and are very close to closing the gap in math. In my grad cohort, all except one of the science and math teachers-to-be are women, not men. I suspect the ratio of women to men in the science classes in college is probably approaching equilibrium. After all, more women are going to college and doing postgrad work then men. If for no other reason, the makeup in engineering programs has very likely changed considerably since you graduated. ted
