well, I have several theories as to why there are less girls.

First of all would be that girls' brains do often work differently than guys' brains. their interests simply don't lie in engineering as much.. often, not always. but this is not as big a reason as other reasons.

girls care a lot about their popularity and reputation. they don't want to be stereotyped as a "nerd", unless, like me, they embrace their nerdiness.

also, guys on teams have a lot to do with it. sometimes they mentally see girls as cheerleaders and poster makers... or they see a girl as somebody just for them to hit on and flirt with, which may turn girls away from a team.

society's stereotypes also attribute to the lack of girls, and perhaps fuel these other reasons as well
