Of these women, approximately 1/3 of them were software engineers (62,900). Women were also employed in higher rates than men in environmental engineering (9% to 4%) and chemical engineering (7% to 4%). However, they were less likely than men to be employed in mechanical engineering (8% to 17%) and electrical engineering (12% to 18%).
Before engineering was recognized as a formal profession, women with engineering skills often sought recognition as inventors. [citation needed] During the Islamic Golden Period from the 8th century until the 15th century there were many Muslim women who were inventors and engineers, such as the 10th-century astrolabe maker Al-ʻIjliyyah.

Though women tend to make up more than half of the undergraduate population in Canada, the number of women in engineering is disproportionately low. [35] In 2017, 21.8% of undergraduate engineering students were women, and 20.6% of undergraduate engineering degrees were awarded to women. [36]
Nearly half of PhD degrees pursued in Central and South America are completed by women (2018). However, only a small minority is represented at decision-making levels. [74] A 2018 study gathered 6,849 articles published in Latin America and found that women researchers were 31% of published researchers in 2018, an increase from 27% in 2002. [75]
The SWE archives contain a series of letters from the Elsie Eaves Papers (bequeathed to the Society), which document the origins of the Society in the early 20th century. . In 1919, a group of women at the University of Colorado helped establish a small community of women with an engineering or science background, called the American Society of Women Engineers and Architects.
Another possible explanation is that women are highly represented in biotechnology. For example, in South Africa, women were underrepresented in engineering (16%) in 2004 and in 'natural scientific professions' (16%) in 2006 but made up 52% of employees working in biotechnology-related companies.

he tales were scrubbed further and the Disney princesses -- frail yet occasionally headstrong, whenever the trait could be framed as appealing — were born. In 1937, . Walt Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" was released to critical acclaim, paving the way for future on-screen adaptations of classic tales.
This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:American engineers. It includes engineers that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent. Women engineers from the United States.
