However, such teaching evaluations are subject to gender and sex-based biases, calling into question their utility and scope. In this paper, we first use data from a large public American university to replicate previous findings showing that significant sex-related differences persist in computing teaching evaluations. Intriguingly, we find that the sex-differences in computing teaching evaluations are primarily driven by bias involving professors, while significant sex-based differences for student-instructors are not observed. Finally, we place the magnitude of the sex-based differences we observe into a broader engineering context. CCS CONCEPTS • Social and professional topics → Gender; Computing education.

Existing approaches automate only parts of the analysis procedure, leaving key decisions in identification, feasibility and risk analysis, and quality assessment to be determined by expert judgement. Therefore, in practice teams of experts manually analyze the system design by holding brainstorming workshops. Such decisions are made in face of uncertainties, leaving room for biased judgement (e.g., preferential treatment of category of experts). Biased decision making during the analysis may result in unequal contribution of expertise, particularly since some diversity dimensions (i.e., gender) are underrepresented in security teams. Beyond the work of risk perception of non-technical threats, no existing work has empirically studied the role of diversity in the risk analysis of technical artefacts.

Hackathon itself is an intensive project-based event, requiring participants to make results in a short timeframe, which stimulates creative thinking, knowledge sharing, and overall learning. This has made hackathons popular in an educational context. As a hackathon event often implies software design, the introduction of hackathon practices would be especially beneficial for Software Engineering education. The question is how to attract a diverse student audience to enroll in these hackathon events and hackathon enhanced courses. Historically, hackathons attract fewer females than males and show gender balance issues. Even though there are positive examples of female-inclusive events, there is a risk that by focusing on women’s interests, the hackathon designers could end up discouraging the male audience. It was found that men e.g., tend to reject feminine products and occupations as they experience social pressure regarding what is acceptable for them. Thus, it would be reasonable to focus on the hackathon’s gender-neutrality rather than on female inclusivity. This research provides practices to implement hackathon courses gender-neutrally. We also discuss pros and cons of different approaches.

The present paper conducts an extensive study on women engaged in study or work at MSc, PhD and academic staff level in the CS field. Multiple factors that support or prevent women in Romania from attending advanced studies or pursuing an academic career in Computer Science have been identified and analyzed. Thus, through the obtained results, we aim to make an impact on decision-makers at the local level of higher education institutions, while good practices can constitute a starting point for other institutions interested in tackling this gender gap.

These spaces exist to provide a common forum for discussion, support, empowerment, and engagement of minorities in OSS. Our analysis focuses on the messages related to sexism and discrimination experiences as posted on these discussion forums by women of OSS.

While much work has been done on addressing equity concerns with respect to unary identities (e.g, race or gender), little to no work in Software Engineering has studied intersectionality to determine how we can provide equitable outcomes for complex, overlapping social identities in data-driven tech. To this end, we designed a survey to learn the landscape of intersectional identities in tech, where these populations contribute data, and how marginalized populations feel about the impact technology has on their day to day lives. Our data thus far, collected from 12 respondents and composed mostly of white and male identities, further highlights the lack of representation in modern data sets and need for contributions that explicitly explore how to support data-driven research and development.

There is a general lack of female students and subsequently employees in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. The attempts of attracting females in technologies have a long history and most topic related studies agree that the main reason for the low ratio of women in STEM is a result of gender stereotypes. This article reviews how gender stereotypes affect students’ interest in Software Engineering. The reason we considered gender-neutrality as a tool to achieve gender balance in Software Engineering lies in the fact that both genders experience the pressure of the stereotypes. Studies show that men are not likely to choose feminine products/jobs. Thus, making the educational program more attractive for females could discourage some males from enrolling. Our work considers different approaches to archive gender-neutrality and we present recommendations for gender-neutral program designs, which combine the considered approaches to gender-neutrality.
