The organizers of SC'95 recognize there is still gender inequity in computer science and engineering and therefore are sponsoring a special event as part of the workshop portion of SC'95. The workshop: Careers for Women in Computer Science and Engineering is scheduled for Wednesday, December 6 from 1:30-5:00. Experts from industry, government, and academia will present a variety of career tracks for women in computer science and engineering. Industrial research and product realization, government R&D and program management, and building a solid academic research program versus striking a balance between academic research and service/teaching will be discussed. Career progression in each track and obstacles along the way will also be explored.
