Reports on the activities of these parents is found in thepopular press,3 magazines4, professional journals, student services publications5 and othergovernmental publications at the local, state and federal levels.6This parental motivation for increased educational involvement comes from a variety ofreasons beyond the natural parental desire to protect and support their children.

However, if we examinethe segment of the college population that are pursuing careers in computer science, engineering,and other technical fields, we find that women are but a small minority here, and that someinstitutions experience selectively high migration of these talented women into other lesstechnical and less high paying professions.Clearly although much progress has been made in decreasing the gender gap in technical fields,women are still vastly underrepresented in engineering, science, information technology, andrelated fields.

It is now widelyaccepted that the MBA is the ideal program for company executives, e.g., a CEO, but not forengineering managers. However, there are a lot more technical managers than CEOs ... and goodproject and program managers are difficult to come by.
