Girls who want to become IT professionals see that the profession entails good employment possibilities and benefits and is respected.
Girls open to a computing career had higher interest and confidence in computing, had more social support for computing, and saw themselves as more like a computer scientist than girls who did not want a computing career.
Experience is necessary but not sufficient to cause girls to envision a future career in computing.
This paper suggests some measures (utilizing some recent innovations) that can help improve software engineering education Better preparing software engineering students for professional careers.
A survey involving students from different strata across India would enable scholars to capture more insight into the perceptions of engineering students towards the Indian software services industry., – Knowledge about the perceptions of engineering graduates towards software services companies in India based on gender, location of the college and the branch of engineering to which students belong, can help human resource managers, entrepreneurs in software services industry and career counselors to strategize human resource practices., – Many studies have been conducted to identify what employers expect from engineering graduates whereas there is a dearth of articles that investigate perceptions of engineering students with respect to their first‐career choice.
And with enormous caseloads, counselors can do little to offer guidance to students and their families about academic and career opportunities in technology. In addition to striving to increase the number of girls involved with technology it is also important to consider how girls are participating in the computer culture.
This perspective causes the supply of graduates mainly in software engineering field seems to be insufficient.
At a broader level, we also argue the need for more undergraduate software engineering programs in India.
