Workplaces are changing rapidly in restructuring economies, but equity and diversity remain elusive. The engineering profession continues to experience difficulty attracting and retaining women. Gender equity programs that focus on women's training, socialisation and non-traditional 'choices' overlook the centrality of workplace cultures. This study reframes the issue, problematising the work context, rather than women themselves. A qualitative investigation of discourses and practices at a range of engineering sites will be conducted. As the first major study of the work place culture in Australian engineering the findings will provide a basis for change in engineering industry, policy, and education settings.

在经济转型中，工作场所正在迅速变化，但公平和多样性仍然难以捉摸。工程专业仍然难以吸引和留住妇女。注重妇女培训、社会化和非传统“选择”的两性平等方案忽视了工作场所文化的中心地位。这项研究重新界定了这一问题，提出了工作背景问题，而不是妇女本身问题。将对一系列工程现场的话语和实践进行定性调查。作为澳大利亚工程领域工作场所文化的第一个主要研究，研究结果将为工程行业、政策和教育环境的变化提供依据。
