Pretty amazing, though I have to wonder what "well on our way" means.

(Anecdote warning!)
Recently, our engineering company started a program to encourage young
women to enter engineering school. Volunteers were assigned a high
school senior girl who was considering engineering (we're all over 50
so the ladies are relatively safe). My candidate had taken HS calculus
and scored 100+. When I enquired which dicipline she was considering,
she responded that Ga Tech had recently opened a new nanotechnology
facility and it was her goal to be a NanE. She said no other
technology would touch so many different fields. I told her that those
were the same reasons I studied EE over 30 years ago.
My, how things have changed but stayed the same!
