I've got a relative who just retired from civil engineering. She was one of the first women (and often the only woman) in a lot of the projects she did.
She went to Michigan Tech for her undergrad, and then to Oklahoma for graduate work.
I'm sure things have changed a lot in the decades since she went to school, but she never said anything negative about her undergrad and grad education.
Sometimes her work environment could be a problem with the male engineers and male construction crews, but she never took any BS. And it helped that she was taller than most of the men!
