The number of women in DSC
College of Engineering has bee
increasing since the late 1960*1
with the exception of 1971 whe
n enrollment decreased.
In 1975, 28 women were enrolle
in engineering at USC. About 35 ar
now enrolled and Dean Rogt
Holmes expects the enrollment t
f continue rising until it balancc
' Detween men and women.
Of the 900 undergraduate!
women compose only about foi
per cent. The national averag
ranges around eight per cent.
For the women in a traditionall
male-dominated field, the road ca
sometimes be rough.
