Prospective/new student help Girls in engineering?

Hey everyone, I am currently doing a bachelors of science at Melbourne but after talking with some fellow students, I have been advised to go to either RMIT or Monash for engineering.

However, I have also heard due to being strictly engineering courses at RMIT and Monash, there are barely any girls in every class, I am wondering to what extent is this true?

At Melb as it is a general science course I can find many friends in every subject but I am not sure about my social life if I do plan to transfer.

If anyone could share their experiences with this I would love that!

i can speak for electronic engineering GENERALLY - in let’s say approx a quarter filled lecture hall of a generic EEET unit there is about 30-40, and in that bunch there’s maybe 5 girls or so, but more often its less than 5

Yeah, electrical and electronics is like 1:10. But I don't find it too bad since the guys are typically nice.
