Why is the men:women ratio high in the computer industry?
|
Cheryl Dugas
Indiana State University
|
In the computer industry, the number of men far surpasses the number
of women. The root cause is that not as many women as men enroll for a
CS academic degree. Why is this? Is it pure lack of interest? Is it
intimidation?

Artificial Intelligence is a concept that cannot necessarily be

well as discussing various AI projects from around the world as well
as projects from our own colleges in Indiana.
