63、nited States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated（支配）historically by men. Even today, its still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical（机械的） engineers, but thats something www.EngineerGirl.org aims to change. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a
64、great career choice they might not have considered.Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about
65、 nine percent of working engineers are women.Mary Mattis is the National Academy of Engineering, says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.We know from the research that middle-school

67、at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you cant start thinking about taking those courses when youre a junior in high school.Engineering is a demanding course of study -there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging. But Ms. Matti
68、s says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.Its about designing things. Its about changing the world for people. Its about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living, you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. A
69、ll of those things are messages that girls need to get.While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and - believe it or not - chocolate engineering
70、.Theres a section called why be an engineer, and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond e
