Let's not get Hasty
Before reaching college, one generally find themselves drawn towards a specific field of study because of their interests and passions. If unsure about a field to study, one is still drawn towards a specific area as a result of those interests. It is well-known knowledge that the number of females working in the computer industry today is very small compared to the number of males; this doesn't come because of the way the curriculum is taught in colleges but rather the way the field is perceived as well as interests before college. If we want to draw more females to the field of Computer Science, we need to first improve the way it is perceived to draw more females to introductory courses rather than making drastic changes to curriculum.
