The are also a few links to online technology magazines The Ada ProjectThe Ada Project (TAP) - named in honor of Ada Lovelace - is a clearinghouse for information and resources related to women in computing. Institute for Women and Technology We believe that the number of girls pursuing math and science education must increase. Women must be encouraged to choose technical studies and careers. Women who make that choice must be supported as far as their skills and interests allow. The environment must assure that women of all backgrounds and races can bring the full richness of their experience to their own work. Finally, women's needs and situations must be considered in all phases of technology study, design, development, deployment and policy. WEpan Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network- WEPAN was established to effect a positive change in the engineering infrastructure conducive to the academic and professional development of women and men. Women and Computer Science This page contains many links to the historic contributions women have made in computer science and their current work. Society of Women Engineers Webpage The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) stimulates women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expands the image of the engineering profession as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrates the value of diversity.
