I go to a technical school with a large, well regarded, architecture department. Unlike the other engineering departments that make up the majority of the school, architecture has a slight female majority. There are several interesting factors in terms of work there, actually. Architecture simultaneously have to do a great deal of group work, and have more emphasis placed on individual merit, then almost any other discipline. Where it gets more interesting is that the professors, and the program, actively encourage architecture students to develop large, non-team player, egos, since this is apparently required in order to actually get your designs built.
