workforce that is large enough to meet both the public and private sectors' growing demand, and that is adept at using and producing information technologies, the United States risks losing the scientific, economic, and human resource advantages it now enjoys. In this respect, the underrepresentation of women and minorities in computer science and engineering (CS&E) is a serious national problem. Efforts to address this underrepresentation have been ongoing for a number of years. This session will focus on current best practices for successfully recruiting and retaining faculty, students and industrial employees in CS&E, as well as on future research efforts in this area. |
