Gender differences in computer science: the views of prospective computer engineers (original) (raw)
This study focuses on how prospective computer engineers (PCEs) view gender differences in the field of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). It is based on research conducted on a sample of 99 PCEs, 43 of which were women. PCEs were asked to express their opinion through the use of a questionnaire addressing the following topics: a) their motivation to select CSE as a subject of study and how this motivation is related to both their primary experience with computers and their family’s views regarding CSE as a profession, b) the relation between gender, strengths and weaknesses in CSE as well as cooperation with fellow students of the opposite gender, c) the desirability of having both male and female University Professors in CSE, d) CSE courses and PCE choice, and e) career issues.
