Table 2 Total number of persons on the teaching and scientific staff of the Engineering Faculties of Budapest Technical University 1966/67 along with that of women 34 Faculty Total number of teaching & scientific staff 3536 Number of women on teaching & scientific staff Women, % of total Mechanical Engineering 318 23 7.2 Chemical Engineering 265 61 23.0 Electric Engineering 348 45 12.9 Total 931 129 13.6 The number of staff was highest at the Faculty of Electric Engineering and lowest at that of Chemical Engineering, whereas the percentage of female staff was lowest at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and highest at that of Chemical Engineering (nearly treble). The percentage of female staff at the Faculty of Electric Engineering was nearly identical with the overall average. It must be noted, though, that the female staff members are not uniformly distributed over the departments of the individual faculties. Out of the 21 departments of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering women were employed at 11 37 , while 12 out of the 13 and 16 out of the 18 departments of the Faculties of Chemical and Electric Engineering, respectively, employed women as teaching and scientific staff. 38 ' 39 b) Women's place in the hierarchy of Budapest Technical University in the academic year 1966/67 Table 3 shows the university ranks of the female teaching & scientific staff members at Budapest Technical University in the academic year 1966/67. 40 According to 7ab/e 3, there was no female Head of Department at any of the Engineering Faculties of Budapest Technical University in the academic year 1966/67. There was one "Docent" each at the Faculties of Chemical and Electric Engineering, respectively. Both of them were holders of the sientific degree "Candidate of Sciences". 41 In the academic year referred to, male "docents" were not always holders of any scientific degree. (In later years university ranks were linked to certain scientific degrees.)
