She doesn’t feel that way. She feels like she is surrounded by scummy males who just want to get laid and aren’t actually interested in her as a person. And constantly fending these men off is emotionally draining. Once she does fend them off, they aren’t exactly friendly any more, so she's surrounded by men who emotionally stunted and offended that she personally didn't respond to their advances.

If she were interested in bedding the most attractive males possible, then maybe. But what she actually wants is to build cool environmentally efficient buildings, and to do that she needs to pass her classes.

Well if she’s fending off men - why would they be friendly?

I’m not friendly to anyone who acts like an asshole to me.

Your daughter is also probably just not attracted to the overwhelming majority of those men. She’s probably quite picky. Very common with engineering women since they have endless options.

How would you feel about being in an environment where 75% of the people are mad at you because you didn’t want to get naked with them? Would you find that environment conducive to professional development?

Talk about a strawman.

At no point are the men getting mad at her or expressing that. They're not like, "Well fuck you, ya damn stupid cunty bitch." They're not doing that and you know they're not. If she just says no thank you then all they do is walk away feeling down. If instead she's super aggressive and an asshole about it like: "ew no, you fucking incel dweeb. Fucking die!" then maybe they have all the reason to be mad at her.

Doubt your daughter is going to be telling you when she acts like the later though.

And how the hell would you know that, exactly? Have you met her, or her classmates?

She a) doesn't get invited to mixed gender study groups, and b) doesn't get picked for mixed-gender group projects. And no, it isn't because she's not a good engineer or a hard working team member.

Human interactions are complicated and it's hard to say that there is only a single reason for anything anyone does or doesn't do... but having been rejected sexually by the young women in your class doesn't do much for your group dynamics.
