Why, in spite of the numerous measures to increase the number of women studying engineering and their integration into corresponding careers, are there still so few female engineers in Germany? Why is technical prowess still associated with masculinity and the images of the male engineer? Why does the dominant culture in engineering, just like the culture of research in this discipline, prove to be particularly resistant to questions of gender? These are the exciting and politically provocative questions that Christiane Erlemann pursues. Using interviews with female engineers who have left their profession, she re-examines the process of first deciding to become an engineer, pursuing such a career and, finally, deciding to quit.Downloads
