Our analyses suggest students perceive a significant lack of females in engineering. For example, “eighty five kids leaving the classroom before mine. of those 85, four are girls. engineers math class #Stereotypical”, and “Keeping up with tradition: 2 girls in a class of 40”. This issue may be again related to the nerdy and anti-social image of engineering. Male students in engineering are regarded as bad at talking with female students, because they usually do not have many female students around in their class. For example, “I’m sorry. We’re not use to having girls around”, “I pity the 1 girl in my lab with 25 guys. It smells like man in here. . .. And that’s not in a good way”, “Finally talked to a girl today!!! It was Siri”, and “‘Lets
start with an example, tell me something you know nothing about’ – Professor . . . ‘girls.’ -Students. lol”.
