Ada Workshop: Study and Practice on Improving Gender Diversity in Computer Science Industry
In China,a newly published report showed that less than 10% of computer science (CS) engineers are female.In this paper,we study why the female to male ratio is low in the CS industry.Universities have provided us with opportunity to collect and analyze surveys and data.A vivid description of our experience designing and delivering Ada workshops and other joint partnership approaches with several universities are presented.The Ada workshops target female university students including undergraduates,graduates and PhD students.Ada workshops strive to encourage female students to pursue core technical positions in their future careers.We also aim to improve gender diversity in Microsoft Research Asias (MSRA) internship program.In conclusion,results are demonstrated with correlated data analysis and student feedback.
