Traditionally, women have been under-represented in engineering. However, more and more companies and universities are recognising the importance of a balanced approach to challenges and the value of diversity. UNSW Engineering has above-average female enrolments at 22% (the national average is closer to 17%), but we are actively recruiting women and have set a goal of boosting female enrolments to 30% by 2020.
At the UNSW Faculty of Engineering the Women in Engineering Program aims to:
-
Inspire girls to pursue engineering degrees and careers for information please check the UNSW Women in Engineering website
-
Support women studying engineering at UNSW such as our Head-Start Award
-
Celebrate the successes of Female Engineering Graduates
