We all know that engineering is a field predominated by men. For all female engineers out there, how do you feel being in a field dominated by men? Do you have any experiences of discrimation or anything like that? How do females make their reputations in this field? In what way do you think women engineers are superior to men? Also to the men, honestly, what do you think of your female equals? I'm not really sexist but I know it's reality. Just curious. Please share some your esperiences regarding this.

sa akin ok lang to be with female engineers, pero sa previous job ko, 'yung kinonsider namin na female engineer for hire, rineject ng boss namin. main reason, sa previous job ko kasi nagha-handle ng mabibigat at malalaking items (huge displays, metalworks, maraming printers). 'yung previous female engineer, ok naman ang performance, ang problem lang, kailangan laging humatak ng katulong na technician or male engineer para magbuhat, maglagare, etc. in turn, may mga jobs ng iba na na-iistorbo.

no offense meant, kung magkakaroon ng team of engineers/programmers, minsan better talaga na lalake ang main planner or lead. in general kasi, males tend to look at the whole thing (forest) and females tend to look at the details (trees). pero hindi naman laging ganun ang case.

sa bagay..sa mga tasks tlga na na maghahandle ng mga mabibigat na bagay, preference tlga ang males...i accept nman n tlgang ganun, kahit cguro amazona pa yung babae baka di p rin sya tanggapin..hehe

pero sa observation mo ba, marami k din nakakasama sa work na mga female?like programmers, engineers, technicians...

minsan kulang sa lakas ng loob, lalo na pag
tungkol na sa power ang design project hehe

actually advantageous din yang pagiging madetalye... specially if you are in a project, maganda rin yung makita mo yung detailed aspects nung project... tulad dati may isa akong project, yung cadet engineer namin, nakita nya yung isang detalye na di ko napansin... kung di dahil doon sa nakita nya, di ako makakabuo ng iba pang idea... yung naging success ang project..

kaya maganda din magkaroon ng team member na babae kasi parang equalizer siya at inspiration na rin at the same time hehe

tama ka sis, kasi ang mga boys minsan ay tamad
pag dating sa pagiging detalyado
kaya ok ang may chicks

sa amin maramirami na din female engineers,pero pag may dumating na maganda sobrang dami pumuporma,kumbaga nakaline up agad hehehe.advantages pa ng babae magaling sila sa paggawa ng reports at docu,ako talaga tinatamad ng ganun,panalo din sila sa pagconvey ng informations saka lagi sila maaga pumasok,unlike boys medyo nalalate minsan dahil sa inom hehehe.

medyo sexist ang issue na to ah...

i am a male, pero di ko tinignan to sa ganitong angle. true, may muscles ang boyz pero nakikita naman ng girls kung bakit bubuhatin yung package. hehehe

nga pala i am in academe. typical ang groupings ng students in most of project. mas nagiging effective ang group kapag leader ay babae... ganun din, sa assembly ng projects (from soldering to enclosure), lalake din ang gumagawa. pero ang nagfafinalize ay girls. dito pumapasok ang documentations na magaganda. eh, minsan malaki ang bearing ng documentations sa actual hardware. hehehe

gusto ko din sabihin kung may tamad na lalake, ganun din sa babae... nung una, nadidisappoint ako kapag may student ako na babae tapos tamad at di nag-aaral. but eventually, ganun pala talga ang tao, pantay-pantay at parepareho. may mga competent/diligent na boys at competent/diligent na girls.... pero ganun din in reverse.

ang gusto kong iparating, di dapat maging issue ito kahit sa field of engineering. besides maraming aspect kahit sa ECE alone.

@iska, i assume student ka palang ngayon. advice ko, be competent in anyway you could. eto ay from academic to extracurricular. makakatulong to in the future.

opo..student p lang po ako ngayon...sure sir, i'm doing my best..i'm not really sexist naman po..i'm just curious kung paano ang lagay ng mga female sa work...

Black Bird · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2009, 12:49:48 PM »

nung nag-oojt pa lang ako, may bossing ako na babae. xa lang isang babae doon. the rest, lalake na.. xa mostly naka assign sa documentation. xa din ang parang neutralizer ng grupo pag di na maiwasan at nagkakainitan ang mga lalake... she also does field works maliban sa paghahakot ng mga mabibigat na gamit..

no problems unless the person acts their gender instead of being engineers

segue lang: yung latest batch ng eng'g graduates namin, mas maraming girls sa boys, so sa education pa lang, malaki na ang involvement ng females sa engineering.

segue din: meron kong nakitang poster na female ECE lang ang tinatanggap. ang trabaho, PCB layout...siguro dahil mas mabusisisi ang girls sa detalye.

siguro ok nga yung medyo maarte sa pcb layout... hehe

mas maganda rin kung may overnyt na

female engineers? I find them extremely sexy...

downside: physically weak but generally not an issue...

performance wise... be it male or female... it is always the knowledge and experience that counts...
on my experience... i can say ... or rate the female engineers as our "equal"....

and... they are absolutely sexy....

Hooray to the female engineers!!!

running joke sa amin: there are two kinds of girls in this university: the beautiful girls and the engineering girls!

joke joke joke!
