Sorry if my comment came off that way, I meant the opposite. I am a strong believer in making software engineering more accessible and as anti-accreditation as you can reasonably get. I even believe that the current medical accreditation system ought to be changed to be more in line like law where medical schools admissions are not allowed to solely control the production of doctors.
What I meant regarding aspiring female engineers is that those going into the traditional CS route should not have their career choices be subtly influenced by existing industry trends and the tertiary education system should do everything it can to prevent that.
- hiptobecubic 5y agoThat sounds good, but I think their point was that it works in the other direction too and you're ignoring it just because it's status quo. Right now, instead of becoming an expert in HCI, everyone is funneled into classes about database indices because some department chair thinks that "real" computer science is bit-twiddling and cache invalidation. You must specialize in the C before you can learn about the H in HCI. Why not the other way around? I think by far most of the problems that make development difficult are human problems. Why shouldn't we push all the CS students to study psych and writing first?
