In spite of the fact that in the last decades the number of women who have decided to study in higher education institutions has been continuously increasing in all European countries, in engineering studies on the contrary, there are only 20 per cent of female students. Even though the percentage of the female and male students at engineering faculties in Slovakia was almost equal before 1989, the present situation is getting more and more similar to other European countries and number of female students in engineering studies has dropped significantly. The described facts led to the research, which is focused on the clarification of factors that contribute to the creation of the culture for women engineers that would positively influence the female decision regarding engineering as a profession. The following hypothesis has been tested: a friendly and warm atmosphere and culture, and non-existence of institutional barriers for female stud...

Hypotheses, based on state of the art, refer to: women friendly presentation, attractiveness of interdisciplinary teaching methods, single sex education, perceptions of minority status, feelings of isolation, existing discrimination and coping strategies of female students. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies, asking questions of and observing students and faculty are completed by website analyses. The results show that special recruitment and a welcome for women do not exist everywhere and, furthermore, are denied by faculty of some countries. General welcome events are appreciated. Among interdisciplinary subjects, languages and soft skills are preferred, along with people-oriented teaching. Attitudes towards single sex education are controversial. The general male engineering image is combined with negative attitudes and discrimination practices in only some countries. More latent discrimination, like prejudice, jokes and stories, lead to self-confidence coping strategies by female students. The results are reflected on the basis of feminist and men's studies. The conclusions refer to inherent dilemmas in research on masculinities in engineering education.
