<p>in other places on CC, i've read about female engineers and awful stories of discrimination in the workplace.</p>
<p>how are female engineering students treated in the classroom? personal stories? </p>
<p>just curious</p>
<p>Seems like they’d be treated like gods.</p>
<p>Just like everyone else from what I’ve seen.</p>
<p>Like everyone else. Most of the time they won’t get “hit on” in classroom settings because:</p>
<p>1) the majority of engineering girls aren’t very attractive
2) guy engineering majors are too shy and nerdy to make any moves
3) combination of 1 and 2
4) it’s engineering, class is more interesting LOL</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>i dont see any difference than in any other class. yeah there are less girls, but who even notices unless theyre keeping tabs. i do mostly have male friends, however. but its always been that way for me haha.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I 100% agree with these, especially #1.</p>
<p>hahaha that list is true. i have a friend who goes to an engineering school who has mentioned those things in the past. occasionally we’ll hang out and we’ll see some girl he thinks is hot. and i look at him a bit confused and tell him, “really?” his response is usually, “hey man I go to an engineering school, an avg looking girl is hot.” other times he’s actually broken down the percentages of hot girls at his school. student pop is 15% girls. of that 15%, 5% of them are hot. of that 5%, 90% are taken and in relationships. perhaps its an exaggeration but i figure its not that far off.</p>
<p>
That is pretty much spot on, don’t know why really. Probably the same reason why engineering guys aren’t that hot in general either.</p>
<p>I don’t know, we have some pretty attractive girls in my engineering major. If you’re in a small engineering school you probably won’t get hit on much, though, since you tend to think of someone you have that many classes and everything with more as a sister (or at least you approach it pragmatically enough to realize that if/when you broke up it’d be a mess) but yeah, if you like engineering do it.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I had a friend who went to Missouri - Rolla (can’t remember what it changed it’s name to), and she was certainly below average, but she had dates ALL THE TIME. I swear every time I called her she’d been at another fraternity formal or date party or simply just going out with a guy from the dorms. Of course she was often too nice (desperate?) to say no…She loved the attention though.</p>
<p>For the record, it goes both ways. A lot of the guys in engineering aren’t that good looking either.</p>
<p>… As long as you don’t ***** around and want extra attention because you are a girl…
At least in my classes those girls are somewhat unpopular with the majority. (unless they are hot…)</p>
<p>Nah, don’t be scared. We certainly don’t bite, and like having more girls around.</p>
<p>Gstein hit the nail on the head.</p>
<p>they get rap ed</p>
<p>lol, everybody knew that some idiot would eventually come to this thread and say that ^</p>
<p>i dunno…i’m taking an intro comp sci class right now and all the guys in the CS building are overly helpful haha</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, most of the time like everyone else. I know girls who have been given a hard time by their TA while doing nothing to the guys. You always have asshats.</p>
