My experience kind of builds on what Dorothy touched on, which is the social implications. Often women will veer towards the fields that they feel are having an impact, whether it's an impact on society or an impact on other people. In terms of the connection between things like engineering and some of the problem solving, in our survey we found that engineers were not perceived as trying to help people. That was really enlightening for me in terms of thinking differently about how we communicate the social impact and the implications to our world of some of these other positions.
