Curious...

How is the ratio 32 to 6 but the total votes is 24?

Because earlier I combined the poll with the previous topic about this, so there has been 24 votes since I combined them.

When VTE votes, it counts for all 15 of his alter egos.

It does?

I voted in both.

 

[DVINNY]

I need to go make the female -1 eh?

 

[bigray76]

I voted in both.

Is there something you are not telling us fraz?

 

[mudpuppy]

27 engineers in my dept. of which 5 are female. Six months ago our dept. had 30 engineers and 8 were female.

Keep in mind that I work in the "Oil Patch" now. At the home office where I keep my HP48GX;

8 engineers - All male (I am one of two PEs)

5 Executive Staff - All Male

7 Support Staff - four ladies and three men

And we literally had more women in my reinforced Infantry Regiment last year in Iraq.

I voted in both.

so you ARE Road Guy in drag!

 

[testee]

Male.

 

[Raanne]

ratio where I work - 8 people (1 principal engineer, his wife (office manager), 2 non-principal engineers (me included), 2 plumbing designers, and 2 cad operators. Other than the wife, i'm the only other female.

my last job, other than the accountant and marketing / sales person, i was the only female out of 20 people. by the time i left, they had hired 3 other female engineers. (it was still around 20 people - very high turnover at that company)

2 males

1 female (plus, she just happens to own the company...)

This office:

5 Engineers - All male

8 Surveyors - All male

2 Cadd Tech - 1 Male, 1 Female

4 Clerical - All female

Edit: Also, what is the ratio where you work? I work with in a dept of 13 and am the only female (which makes for fun days when the testoterone is raging).

I work at a large electric utility, the PE email list (which doesn't include me yet) has 75 names with 1 female. The 'Engineer' email list has 179 names with 5 females... WOW didn't know there were that few!

As my wife is fond of saying about being a girl in an engineering school: "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

Wow I thought the number of female engineers was getting closer to the number of men. Fun poll. And VTEnviro I agree with your wife!! That's a great quote

 

[fmullner]

Counting my boss and her more or less direct reports, it's 6 men and 4 women. Of the four women, one is clerical, one (the boss) is an EE and the two women are Chem E's.

That's sounds pretty out of the ordinary.

 

[frazil]

bump!

 

[Supe]

No females in this office who aren't admins. I'm the welding "engineer", and we've got 4 male rigging guys, but that's it. Across the street in E&C I recall seeing a fair share of women mixed in, but they definitely stood out in a crowd. I would hate to work over there, cubicle walls are all shoulder height, so it would be impossible to spam online all day!

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

bump!

Why the bump Fraz? Are you changing your vote or something?

 

[Wolverine]

Changing name to "Chaz"?

 

[frazil]

I was just curious. It seems like there are more females on the board than there used to be :bananapowerslide:

but they don't seem to be voting in the poll...
