I have been working in one of the teaching buildings for engineers, at the University of Waterloo, since 1978. I can assure you that more young women at studying engineering. Women coming out of the classrooms used to be in ratios of 2:70 or so. Now, I am seeing women in ratios of more like 20:70 (purely subjective measurements). --Judy McMullan
