experience males may have gleaned from tinkering with computers as teens [30].The first-year course also integrates discussions of societal and ethical issues related to computerscience. Larger increases in the number of bachelor’s degrees earned by women and distributionacross disciplines have remarkably changed gender diversity for a number of disciplines. Thisultimately produces some disciplines that are criticized for low participation of women andrelatively slow progress and others where an equivalent and declining participation of men garnersrelatively little attention or action. It seems possible that focusing on careers for some disciplines,and not for others, may in itself change the perception of those topics for students who

Our survey with the slight deception hadalso passed ethics approval.Sexuality: In an early iteration of the survey, participants were asked to self-identify theirsexuality. Care was taken to design this question to be inclusive, but concerns were still raised,primarily because of the plan to have parents of the participants sign the letter of consent. In thisprocess it was reasonable to expect that parents may read a completed version of the survey. Itwas also reasonable to expect that participants in this age group may be questioning theirsexuality, but may not have yet
