Engineering Field Lacks Female Majors

Female college students are taking up atleast 50% of every major field of study in campuses across Indiana, with an exception to the Engineering field. The engineering field has about 18% of women students and educators say that this gender gap may have some long-term negative effects on women. Author Molly Madden of the South Bend Tribune states that, to address this problem, many schools have altered their programs of engineering to attract more female students ad the numbers are currently rising. Up until the past few decades, women have not had equal opportunities as men. But now that we do have access to these things, we are taking the neccessary steps to change the world and become Bread-winners also.
