  • Abstract
    The barrier of genders in global society has been reduced. Female has opportunities to choose more various occupations, especially in engineering. Although, number of female engineers in Thailand still exists, however; in the past five years, there exist the reductions of female engineers in Thai society. This paper represents the overall image of female engineers in Thai society since they were prospective engineering students and after graduation working as professional engineers. Occurred problems are relevant to a gender gap in engineering, trustworthy and physical limitation. Rationally, there are possible ways to enhance more number of female engineers, using some ideas from developed countries include giving support to educational sectors, enhance the research and development area and establish more recognition and awards. The problem could not be solved in certain amount of time; society should play the important role to increase the numbers of Thai female engineers.
