In the Australian workforce, female engineers are a rare sight at just 12 percent. In comparison, Engineers Without Borders Australia (EWB) has a uniquely high female engagement, at 41 percent. Amongst a range of findings, the report suggests that involving women in humanitarian and social projects could be a crucial key in getting more females involved in engineering.
