Increase in women admitted to UC Berkeley engineering ushers in new energy for female representation in STEM

This year marks another positive change toward the number of admitted females in engineering majors at UC Berkeley. Campus records reflect a 28 percent increase in female admittees into engineering for the 2018-19 academic school year. This representation is still quite far from where Cal needs to be - ideally the ratio would be 50-50, but I guess we have to start somewhere.
We must consider the distribution of female admittees across engineering majors. For example, electrical engineering and computer science, or EECS, majors tend to have a larger female population that graduates with degrees, while bioengineering tends to have a significantly lower distribution of female graduates.
