Multipronged approach needed to recruit female students

Curriculum innovations at Rowan University in New Jersey, US, that have improved the success and retention of female engineering students, are discussed. The University implements multidisciplinary curriculum in which laboratory/design courses are offered simultaneously to engineering students in various disciplines and presented in a project-oriented eight-semester engineering clinic sequence. Gross National Product found that countries that have a lower industrial development index do better than most industrialized countries in lowering occupational gender segregation. Female enrolment in engineering can range between 35% and 50% in Kerala as the state has a culture that values intellectualism.
