Re: female engineers
We've had female engineers from time to time at work, but we actually have trouble recruiting them from what I understand. We currently have none, as our management chose to shrink our engineering team rather than replace the last one that left. It's a shame, as we deal with a lot of women users, who do (in some cases) seem to feel a lot more comfortable dealing with a woman than a man.
We do (from time to time) have female tech support staff who are part timers though. They seem to be a lot easier to recruit.
I work in IT, and I genuinely don't understand why more women don't enter the Computing industry. I know quite a few women who are in the industry or training to be in various computing related industries. Most of whom are as capable as, if not more capable than, their male colleagues. I even know one Polish woman who is 6ft tall, blonde, stunning and as a programmer, can out code most of the men I know, me included (and I am a good programmer).
