We will be putting out on the women's engineering society network. Cobham in Dorset have got five fantastic women engineers in the new intake of grads that I have just trained as STEM ambassadors and am working on for you :) Jan Sent from my iPhone [log in to unmask] T: 0797 4011278 Carol Rothwell [log in to unmask] 07810 547712 On 24 Nov 2011, at 18:02, Shane McCracken <[log in to unmask]> wrote: We're looking for some good female engineering role models to take part in I'm an Engineer, Get me out of here in March 2012.

Sadly 50% do still think they are too hard and 60% that they don’t have enough female role models. I guess we’ve all still got jobs for a few years to come!

This is the third year of the survey which explores the opinions of 7-21 year old girls, not just those participating in Guiding. Highlights include: More than half of girls say that hairdressing is what girls are interested in (57 per cent),while they veer away from engineering because of a lack of interest (51 per cent) and of female role models (60 per cent). There is also a perception that not many girls or women do this kind of job (47 per cent), and that they don’t know enough about it (43 per cent). 53 per cent think science/engineering is too hard or complicated, 35 per cent say it would be difficult to get a job of this kind, and 22 per cent would be put off by the working environment. There was a lot of talk of STEM at their event I attended last night but given concerns about gender issues surprisingly little representation from our community. All three years of the survey can be found on their website: http://girlsattitudes.girlguiding.org.uk/home.aspx Best wishes Nicola *Nicola Hannam* Director, Education & Skills www.futuremorph.org *The Science Council** | 32-36 Loman Street | London | SE1 0EH* *Tel:* 020 7922 7889* | Email:* [log in to unmask]<file:///C:[log in to unmask]> *Website:* www.sciencecouncil.org | www.charteredscientist.org *Future Morph is now on Twitter* Follow us @future_morph now! *This email is intended only for the person(s) named as the recipient(s).
