ofthe most lucrative fields. University education in computer science, computer engineering, andinformation technology is providing students with abundant future job opportunities. Althoughthe lack of a formal computing degree cannot stop young people from securing a lucrative job intechnology, an academic computing degree can be a big advantage for a candidate. Industrystatistics suggest companies and startups are more likely to recruit someone skilled with abachelor’s degree [1], [2]. In spite of the increasing demand for computing jobs, computerscience dropouts are still the highest among STEM disciplines [3]. In addition, despite theemphasis on diversity [3] in technology, the gender gap in computing education and jobs hasworsened over the
