I am a grade 12 student right now, I'm wondering how is engineering a career for girls? I am especially interested in biomedical engineering at UA, but am also looking at other engineering options (chemical, mechanical etc.).... can anyone please share their opinions?

Biomedical is just a option. It is not a major.

让我学engg的bio不如让我学普通的bio,学的是最苦的,而且没有mm陪。

If you are considering to be an engineer someday, you need to know that you are gonna work with guys quite a lot.

你可以这么想:世界上有三种人,男人女人和engineer.所以男女都无所谓,女生学的少应该是因为engg有太多动手运用的东西吧。
' }; J- B! @. fengineer是需要学很多东西,原理,但是最终目的是要将这些东西运用到现实生活中。

呵呵,我就是在学ENGG的女生^^9 F: T" o- e4 a6 N7 q
我觉得学ENGG挺酷的,哈哈,而且比较实用,如果毕业了想再读研究生也可以,懒的读去工作也好找.6 _* Q6 {- H3 ^8 \3 E
工资也还差不多(其实我完全不知道别的职业挣多少,我就是看着COOP毕业了那价格基本够生活了才这么说的).- F$ c% P- @& Y  X- L
其实我不认为我特别聪明...或者数学物理特别好...或者动手能力很强...学ENGG的原因出于以上说过的,还有就是我似乎比较喜欢挑战,觉得学个难点的东西还学的明白的话感觉挺好的,有种只要我想没什么做不到的感觉.当然啦就学个ENGG可能没那么夸张.3 \" j, ]0 V! |. c& k5 J2 N
至于生物类的啊,估计学的女生会偏多吧?毕竟化学啊生物啊都是偏文的理科,要背要记的很多,男生们可能不喜欢(我个人也是比较喜欢理解了就OK的课,懒的背=P)二楼说的对,生物只是ENGG里一大类,生物分Chemical biomed, Mechanical biomed, Electrical biomed之类.: x4 w$ a6 r( j! ~
嗯嗯,还有,光从大一来看的话我觉得ENGG里女生并不怎么少,可能是到了大二分开了,相对来说Chemical和Environmental里的女孩子比较多,像Enigneering Physics里女生就少些.
1 M! u. v* t+ d. ~, N1 w2 l还要填一点,哈哈改了两次帖了,如果想学生物的话英文是强项比较沾光...比如如果LZ来加拿大有了五年十年的了(领会精神,并不是说非那么多年)学生物可能就不在话下;而如果刚刚来个一两年那种(当然啦每人水平不同)建议慎重考虑..., a' d3 M  H" R. i# p  B

ENGG出来才够生活,你开什么玩笑啊。那我们拼了命的上了好几年大学,最后出来才能温饱?那还不如学什么ART啊 PSYCHOLOGY啊这些垃圾专业呢。

1 E/ B8 K7 X# q0 @9 M( G Don't let them fool you. That was the thinking many, many moons ago. I'm a U of A Civil Engineer grad from the 80's. From the grad pictures, there were only a handful of girls in our grad class. Things change over the years. More and more girls graduated in ENG and found excellent career in their studied field. Through the "Edmonton Chinese Engineer Society" www.eces.cc , I know there's a lot of young ladies who graduated in Civil, Environmental, Electrical, Mechanical, ... and so on. Starting salary for Eng Grads is in the range of $40,000 to $55,000. That's the salary of a Professional Eng with 10+ years experienced only 8 years ago!

同言同羽 置业良晨
建议女生别去读mechanical engg. 因为我就是读这个的. 觉得不是很适合女生读.出来以后的工作也是偏重男性.
