Are mechanical and civil engineering courses good for girls? What career prospects do they have?
yes, there are very few women in the engineering field. so be warned, if you go into it you will be surrounded by guys, they will be rude crude and offensive right in front of you If this doesn’t bother you then you are fine. There are many efforts to get more women into the engineering fields. you will have no disadvantage with getting into college or finding jobs (in fact you will have an advantage over men, its not fair but that’s the way it is). The job market for engineers is red-hot, starting salaries for mechanical engineers are $50-$60k/year, and Civil is $40-50k/year. These are just the starting salaries with no experience, and go up pretty quickly. Check out www.swe.org (society of women engineers) for more info about being a woman in a field that is mostly men. there will most likely be many scholarships and grants available for you as a woman in the engineering field. Good Luck.
