The present research delves into the complex dynamics of gender equality, highlighting women's experiences within the engineering sector. Drawing from a literature spanning from 2005 to 2023, we gathered insights from 108 pertinent articles on the topic. Our results show that a substantial portion of research underscore the persistent biases and barriers women encounter in engineering. Through our analysis, we unveiled four dominant themes: ‘The Impact of Sex Differences on Productivity’, ‘Gender Digital Divide’, ‘Discriminatory Behaviour’, and ‘Women and Performance’. Applying the glass ceiling theory as analytical framework, we discern a prevailing neglect towards women's challenges in the engineering field. Our findings accentuate the necessity for innovative policy interventions. To this end, we introduce a comprehensive policy model tailored to champion robust gender equity initiatives within engineering field.
