  • Abstract
    To elucidate the factors that keep women from pursuing engineering careers, IEEE Spectrum brought together eight successful women for a round table discussion. The women engineers agreed that the profession is technically rewarding, but that gender bias, isolation, and lack of support from family, friends, and superiors keep women away. The discussion centred on discouraging factors, the engineer´s image, gender issues, family matters, and harassment
