Gender Inclusive Engineering Education (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Women continue to comprise a small minority of students in engineering education and subsequent employment. This book demonstrates the ways in which traditional engineering education has not attracted, supported or retained female students and identifies the issues needing to be addressed in changing engineering education to become more gender inclusive.
