Keep in mind that IT in Romania is still a male-dominated world, women developers are around 10% (I don't have any sources on that). But it's not unnatural for women to choose an engineering degree, I think 20%-30% of my year of colleagues were women. This, i think, comes from our communist past. Back then, jobs were allocated by the state and if you were unlucky, you could have ended up somewhere in the country side. An engineering degree would guarantee a job in a factory in a city. Also add the communist propaganda and Ceausescu's dream to make Romania a heavily industrialized country.
