To be sure, women are underrepresented in most technical fields, but we see a greater proportion in computer engineering and computer science than elsewhere. Typically, our women students get higher GPAs than men students and appear disproportionately more often on Dean s Lists, Outstanding Seniors lists and membership rolls of honor societies. Their job opportunities after graduation are usually outstanding. What I really want to do, eventually, is to run a company. Engineers have an undeserved reputation of not being people friendly.
People skills are essential to being a successful engineer.
To expand on this idea the internet, that ubiquitous communication mechanism, was invented by engineers and scientists so that they could discuss their work with each other cheaply and conveniently. There they find their engineering backgrounds to be a huge advantage. In fact, many CEOs and entrepreneurs began as engineers. I see there is a computer engineering technology program offered by the college of technology. This is difficult to answer briefly, and you should definitely talk to people in the college of technology to get their views.
