Like I've stated before, I think that it's much worse to force women who don't want to be in a discipline to be in it just to even it out. Especially in engineering, such a mentality could be potentially dangerous. If there are 25% women there, at least those 25% want to be there. I do not want my buildings to be built by a mind that's only half there.
With the amount of outreach (particularly towards women) done by the Faculty of Engineering, I'd like to politely suggest that perhaps there are only 25% women in that faculty because only that 25% want to be there.
As for why only 25% of women want to be there? I would consider that an issue.
