After a long while, most of the application for jobs are submitted by women in UAE Space Agency.
More than 80 of application received by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, of which 75 are of women. Currently, there is only one female engineer is employed in the center for advanced science and technology of UAE.
Amel Amin was the only one female engineer when she joined five years ago. Amin is currently the head of the education unit at the MBRSC.
Amin pointed out that of the 15 university students who currently work at the MBRSC, 11 are women. She refers the number of women graduating in engineering is much higher than males is the reason for it.
She told about the shift in job application is due to the jointly organized program by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the UAE Space Agency.
It was harder for girls to join before when works are in South Korea, but since the work has moved to the UAE, we’ve seen a lot of the engagement from girls.
