Students should especially realize this as well. When I got a sneak admitted students preview of University of Wisconsin- Madison's engineering program this spring along with around a thousand other students, I literally looked around this big auditorium and barely saw females in the college of engineering. It's a major problem still.
Thankfully we have teams like 234, 2177 in MN, etc. and organizations like the Women in Science and Engineering groups in colleges working hard to improve this ongoing social stigma in this country about the lack of Women in STEM. It is still a problem today and events like Indy-Rage will hopefully inspire more Females to go into STEM. Bravo to all the teams and organizations working on making a difference.
