Abstract

This paper examines some of the reasons for the low participation of females in engineering education, drawing upon empirical research from the author's recent doctoral study of sixth formers' A-level and career choices and their images of engineering as a career. The paper then describes some strategies for increasing female participation and creating a positive experience for female students.
