Should my daughter become an engineer? Part 2

For many women, balancing an engineering career and a family is a big problem. It is because women do the majority of housework and child rearing and they are much more likely to take time off work for having and raising children. For women who still want to pursue engineering career, many organizations can extend help. These include Girl Scouts, Society of Women Engineers, Women in Science and Engineering and Mentornet. Some Web sites also offer help namely, Cynthia Furse's Web site, www.ece.utah.edu/c̃furse/K12.html and Karen Panetta's Web site for nerd girls, http://www.nerdgirls.org/.
