I am speaking from personal experience. There were little to no women in the engineering department when I went to school here in the 70's and I have said I don't know why. You will need to ask the parents. My niece is a degree'd engineer and believe me, she is a rarity.
I didn't, I only completed the tenth grade, bumped into my home room teacher and he asked why I did not come back because I had led the class in the finals. Really simple, no money for university and few if any scholarships, so I went to work to help with family expenses. Many of my coworkers were degree'd but all I did was write their test and ace'd it.

Some years later the IEEE invited me to join as a full member, they said it was based on my contributions to the discipline.
