On my last project at work. We had two female hardware engineers, both 
analogue electronics - now there's something.  They  baked me a cake on 
my retirement on my 65th Birthday.

At a meeting we were discussing the  finish of the electronics box. One 
of ladies wanted it to be pink The mechanical engineer explained in all 
seriousness, why it  had to be black . I was with her on it as most 
paints in the IR  are black.

We had quite a few  female optical and laser  engineers  whose 
backgrounds were physics, and a female chemist.

I don''t recall any in mechanical engineering or digital electronics - 
FPGA and the like.
