Author Description

Women engineers currently represent between 2 and 6% of the engineering workforce - one of the lowest participation rates of women across all professions. This book was conceived as an initiative of the National Women in Engineering Committee of Engineers Australia and was actively promoted and supported by the Office of the Status of Women. It is a tool for use by a range of engineering practitioners to enable them to assess the full participation of women in engineering and to develop mechanisms to overcome shortfalls.
