Abstract

The computing disciplines and the computing profession continue to appear gender segregated; despite limited progress, the number of women in computing still remains a minority. Differences persist at all levels, particularly when women attempt to reach higher levels of the corporate hierarchy. Today's social networking and friendly-computing provide an opportunity to redesign curricula to better engage young women in pursuing degrees and careers in computing. This may in turn increase participation and engagement and transform the study of computing from an isolated experience to an always-connected and socially-rich one.
