The Outlook for Girls In Engineering and Mathematics
What is the outlook of girls in engineering and math? An article in CNN Money has decided to tackle this question from many perspectives. Sahadi (2017) explains that, even though it would be quite easy for a woman to find a job in both engineering and computer sciences, most of them are discouraged to follow those career paths regardless of the amount of stimulus given by different organizations. One of the hypothesis that try to explain such situation relies on the theory that women may feel easily overwhelmed by the amount of males in such field, which would cause them to make a bigger effort in order to be heard. This hypothesis, however, is a little circular, since in that case the cause is too little amount of women in STEM fields while the solution would rely entirely on the will of women to engage in such fields.
