Cel
Women are currently under-represented in all areas of engineering and many years of effort to attract more girls into engineering careers have met with only limited success. This project aims to identify and compare the personal, educational and socio-cultural factors that influence women and men's choices towards engineering at key stages in their lives, and their success or lack of persistence. Existing methodological tools will be adapted and new ones, and a framework for effective gender relevant cross-cultural comparisons, developed. The outcomes will lead to a series of recommendations to enhance the successful recruitment and retention of women engineers throughout the European Union. These will enhance economic competitiveness and social mobility by addressing issues around equality of opportunity and gender mainstreaming in institutions of higher education and the professional arena.
