Fine


maybe dey're not just interested....they have passion 4 sth else huh
Would like to know what girls are interested in!

Met&mat? Thats not pure engineering...more like science huh
Civil, mechanical, electrical... Those are traditional engineering courses.
Even computer engineering is a step brother to them grin
stop being myopic... BTW where is chemical engineering?

I gerrit tho.....but derz never enough reason to "generalize"
Op shudnt just sit in one corner, observe his sisters and den assume every oda is d same.
The part dat is even "madding" (if at al derz any english like dat) me is his useles and pointles option of "stem courses are expensive" mtcheew..
He reali needs help

ReverseEngineer:
What's this one saying? Industrial Reactors and Large scale plants are "Smaller components"? And why did you throw that Engineering in quotation marks? You sure have no Idea of this advancing field of Engineering .. What's he even saying that Some Engineering deals with Labwork? What Engineering field doesn't carry out Simulation of models before prototype testing? Or you think the mechanical plant you see isn't a product of scaled up lab work? Or that Cantilever along the road wasn't simulated in the lab for mechanical strength via Fluid mechanics analysis? Look, Chemical Engineering even has to do with more massive apparatus and Process Units (on an industrial scale and not at lab). That Civil was the next after military Engineering means nothing. Chemical Engineering is independent And wasn't derived from another. Please pick up books and read before disgracing Engineers publicly.
please tell him again .. thank you very much

Meant for mean ugly gals. U need to go to any engineering dept and see what I'm talking about.

Yeah I knw and dats my own opinion too. #no offence meant

society matters too.girls are wired to love medical courses and boys to love engineering courses.

Not agaiin.. Another chemical engimeer coming to defend their course embarassed
Whatever engineering you're doing must have emanated from mechanical and civil...or at most, established to make mechanical instrument more efficient!
As for chemical engineering, from simple mechanical drives to the pneumatic systems and hydraulics systems, from structural analysis of chemical plants to welding and other assembling techniques...these are stuffs that have their origin in mechanical engineering. And those are the stuffs that makes chemical engineering ''engineering''. Abi, what's the ''engineering'' about chemical huh
I so respect them for the chemical part though...

Re: 5 Reasons Girls Avoid Engineering Courses by Nobody: 1:08am On Apr 12, 2016
the lady engineers on this thread don't know about statistics.

the fact is, the main reason why women are scarce in engineering fields, is because they fear maths . . . don't give me anecdotal evidence. of course there will be exceptions. just because you are good with math, doesn't mean every other girl is. you look at the vast majority. not your self. and if you do, you'll find that mathematics is a major culprit.

if this sounds bad, sorry, i'm not very good at math myself. grin however, i just don't see how not being able to be an engineer is a bad thing. engineering is not the top of the world. i daresay nursing is more important than it.

so let's leave women to make impact wherever they want to. and not subject them to our own standards of what they should do with their lives.

op, including medicals has invalidated most of ur pts sha. but during my school days, I saw a lot of females in maths stats n computer.
Oga, engineering calculations are not same with d calculations done in those departments. There's difference between cat fish and shark even though they're all fishes
