There is always going to be a percentage of females who will take up the challenge - but it's hard for me to see how that percentage can be greatly increased. More likely in the white collar engineering jobs - where they don't have to get down and dirty - I can see more numbers and certainly the bigger organisations and government organisations can make more opportunities available, but at a gress roots level ?? hard to see.
