The authors here present and justify engineering specializations where females areexpected to be most successful from both academic and career perspectives.

Research incomputing has shown how bias can influence whom identifies with computing careers andacademic pathways—indicating those who resemble the majority in the STEM fields (e.g.,Caucasian and Asian males) are more likely to receive feedback that they are right for the field,while others have interactions that indicate they may be more suited for another field.We view identities as fluid, and developed in interaction with others.

Insteadwe postulate that such differences inform students’ socialization into engineering and, as a result,their patterns of co-curricular participation. Weidman defines socialization as “the process bywhich individuals acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that make them more or lesseffective members of their society” [5].
