As my wife is fond of saying about being a girl in an engineering school: "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."
That's great, I just might have to use that.

If we're talking professional staff here to mean anyone beyond clerical, marketing, etc. In our office we have 2 male engineers, a male drafter, 2 male LA's, and 2 femals LA's. (If you consider LA's professional that is. :huh: )
Companywide we have 5 smallish offices of 8-10 people. Each has 1 to 2 female tech staff. I'd say maybe 15% tops.
What's an LA (besides a smog-bound metropolis)

 
^ Landscape architect. They draw pretty renderings of stuff you actually designed. I've worked with them for years and other than planting plans, I can't figure out what it is they do.

But can you dance with/on one?
I am more impressed by table dancing than poll dancing - takes a little more skill and coordination, especially if you are drunk ;)

I work for a state agency, so there is more parity in my office but that doesn't break down as well if you look amongst the professionals where I think the line splits closer to 80%:20% for male:female ratio.

50% men to 50% female in the engineering department here.

100% male engineers (me with PE)

100% Intern engineers (team lead with EIT license)

50-50 on all other non licensed college grads in engineering, and non licnesed (military) non educated engineers (includes physics degrees and one with part of an associates degree)

My last company had 30 males to 2 females.

I am the youngest at 43.

My office has 32 Men and 5 women as engineers.

Like most other people, our support staff has a much better mix.

With there being more women than men in this world, the winds of change will eventually come to the engineering profession.
