<p>Engineering is one of my passions, and that is my intended major whenever I apply. My question is, are female engineering majors looked down upon at Tech, or are they treated just as equally as the males. Thanks!</p>
<p>Even as a female engineering student 30 years ago, I was treated as one of the guys (at a different university, but that doesn’t matter). You will be fine, at whatever school you go to. Just work hard and be friendly!</p>
<p>Haha no. You’ll think that a silly question after about a year. The professors treat you 100% equal, the department LOVES having you, you’ll constantly be hit up on to join intramural sports teams and will likely never have a problem getting a study group together.</p>
<p>You can’t look down upon people that are never around.</p>
<p>There are female engineering students. Engineering isn’t even the most lopsided major. It varies a bit from engineering discipline to discipline but they’re around, and in decent numbers.</p>
<p>I participated in an all girls engineering camp at tech and it seemed like all the girls felt pretty welcome. You could apply to be in hypatia which is the girls engineering learning community. You can also join society of women engineers. It seems like the CEED office does a lot to encourage diversity in engineering.</p>
