"I'm also curious if young women are giving fields such as engineering
more consideration than it has been given in the past."

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).
