Abstract :The examination of the mining engineering profession from the perspective of both female and male engineers and the investigation of the profession in terms of gender equality constitute the main scope of this study. This study also aims to define and recommend solutions to the issues based on sexist roles faced by mining engineers who had studied mining engineering and are currently practicing their profession in Turkey. In this regard, fieldwork was performed on the basis of the views of 160 participants. In the study, a digital questionnaire consisting of two parts was scattered to the participants. In the first part of the questionnaire, demographic information was asked, and in the second part, questions about the genderbased evaluation of female and male engineers\` professions were asked. Solution suggestions were presented by evaluating and interpreting the data obtained from the study.
