UDM attracts women in engineering
While
debate continues over Harvard University President’s remarks about the
“intrinsic aptitude” of men versus women to excel at science and
math, UDM continues to attract impressive percentages of female students to
its undergraduate engineering program. Based on Fall 2003 data from the Engineering
Workforce Commission of the American Association of Engineering Societies,
UDM has 28.6 percent female undergraduate students in engineering while the
national average is only 18.1 percent of all undergraduate engineering students,
and 19.1 percent in Michigan. The data places UDM in the top 10 percent nationally
for the percentage of female students in its undergraduate engineering program.Message from the Dean
It's healthy for any enterprise, and especially for educational organizations,
to periodically step back from the day-to-day activities to observe ongoing
trends and developments.
