| Abstract | This paper comprises of a study involving women engineers working in a variety of engineering fields and their experiences highlighting the societal, organizational and personal factors that impact their effective progression into the society as engineers. The primary goal of this paper is to identify the elements that obstruct engineering graduates from being able to implement their engineering skills for better integration into the job market and beyond. Here, although we take the example of the Pakistani society, our findings and recommendations are valid for all societies with similar demographics culturally, religiously or otherwise. A recent study has shown that every year over 5000 engineers graduate from one of the leading engineering universities of Pakistan. About 31% of the engineering graduates are women engineers but disappointingly, on an average only about 30% of the female engineers pursue a relevant career [1]. The staggering number of engineering graduates who are unable to pursue engineering as a career is the major motivational influence of this study. Our aim here is to understand the impact of the plethora of agents that come into play once an aspiring women engineer plunges into the job market and recommend measures that may be undertaken as a society, including pedagogical modifications ranging from primary education to engineering classrooms. We also discuss the possibility of addressing the problem through interaction, collaboration and technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
