I had to do a group presentation today. Like most other groups in engineering, it was with a group of boys. Most of the time that's ok, but it does get pretty annoying when they form their 'boy club', most of the time without realising it. This just makes it harder for girls. Whether it's about having your say, or being allocated a fair share of work (and not just editing the final report), the boys have an automatic reaction to make this almost impossible.
Sometimes, it is great working with guys, but other times are just incredibly irritating. I honestly prefer working in a male dominated environment than a female one, but each has it's downsides.
About Me
- andy
- I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)
