The team I mentor does have less than a 50% Female to Male ratio, but it is not so far off that mix that the the women that we do have seem at all out of place (at least to me). The women on our team also seem fairly well distributed in interests and capabilities. We have female students doing CAD/design, fabrication, electrical, programming, marketing, etc. They also do not just hold "entry level" positions, and represent a significant portion of our sub-team and organizational leads. They also seem comfortable making their opinions known at meetings and generally seem well respected for their work.

In fact, if it were not for this thread, I do not think I would have bothered to even consider any differences between the male and female team members. There are much greater differences between individual team members of either sex that anything I can see between either group when taken as a whole.
