Computer science lacks women, minorities - SD Times: Software Development News

  • The U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts high demand for programmers. Its Occupational Handbook for 2006-2016 lists computer application software engineers as the fourth most in-demand occupation due to "increased applications of emerging technologies" and the growing complexity of businesses.
  • Seventy percent fewer students have majored in computer science since 2000; women declined by 80%, she said, citing Computing Research Association data. The Higher Education Research Institute has determined that only 1% of students are majoring in computer science, and 0.3% are women, she added.

BlueJ or Bust! Can a Learning Environment That Simplifies the Teaching of Programming Skills Help Restore America's Dwindling Population of Computer Scientists?

  • Developed by Kolling in 1999 as part of a research project at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, where he was a lecturer, BlueJ provides a visually based, object-oriented programming environment that enables beginning students to create projects without delving into the more intricate areas such as syntax and classes that are typically problematic for anyone learning Java. Java, an open source programming language created in 1995 by Sun Microsystems (www.sun.com/java), has become the standard programming language for the College Board's (www.collegeboard.com) advanced placement computer science curriculum and for most college-level introductory computer science courses.
  • It's common for the standard language in computer science to change every six to eight years, requiring instructors to quickly master the new language to the point where they can teach it. The BlueJ website offers them support through the access it provides to Kolling and his team. The discussion boards on the site also allow teachers to draw support from one another, as they exchange lesson plans and programming ideas and keep each other on top of updates.
