American Association of University Women’s “Solve the Equation”
infographic cited the decline in women computer engineers
The share of women in computing and math-related jobs dipped from 35 percent in
1990 to 26 percent in 2013, in a time when the number of women engineers inched from
9 percent to 12 percent, according to the American Association of University Women.
In that same infographic, the AAUW spotlighted Harvey Mudd College in Claremont,
California, for its spike in the proportion of computer science grads who were female;
that figure was 6 percent in 2007 and 38 percent in 2014. (That rate, nevertheless, peaked
at roughly 20 percent in 2011.)
