Abstract
Since2 1979 the number of women entering university computer science degrees has declined significantly. During this period a variety of initiatives has been made to try to attract more women into science and engineering generally, but the results so far can only be seen as disappointing. While the numbers of women entrants to engineering courses, unlike the case of computing, have actually increased, they remain a tiny proportion of the total.
