- IBM has 581 DEs out of a population of 430K A Distinguished Engineer is a technical leader who has made a positive impact on IBM's business and continues to innovate with new technology to solve problems. I work in the office of the Chief Information Officer, so the problems I solve are related to the software applications which run the IBM business. My area of engineering is Software Engineering and IT Architecture. Currently, I'm responsible to find opportunities to transform the IBM Enterprise by looking for chances to explore Cloud. I am a Subject Matter Expert on many internal IBM processes and I've been leading a Community of Practice for IBM's internal adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) and development of "born on the Cloud" applications. I'm currently leading a small Agile team to develop an application on Bluemix to manage payment instruments for IBM commerce transactions. My educational background is that I have a Bachelors degree in Mathematics from Boston College and a Masters of Science in Computer Information Systems from Regis University in Denver.
- According to recent statistics, women hold 51% of positions in the workforce today, but only about 26% of positions in IT. Since 1985 the number of women receiving degrees in computer science has fallen from 37% to 18%. From The Innovators by Walter Isaacson: The exclusion of these women has not only reinforced stereotypes about women and technology, but has arguably had a self-fulfilling effect. In 1985, 37 percent of computer science undergraduate degrees were earned by women. By 2010, that number had fallen by half to 18 percent. Now just 0.4 percent of all female college freshmen say they plan to major in computer science. As far as STEM college degrees (not just IT), women are also under-represented. The Dept of Commerce report says that 26% of college-educated Women workers are in STEM and the relatively few women who receive STEM degrees are concentrated in physical and life sciences, in contrast to men, who are concentrated primarily in engineering. Women who do receive STEM degrees are less likely to work in STEM jobs than their male counterparts. And while women working in STEM jobs earn less than their male counterparts, they experience a smaller gender wage gap compared to others in non-STEM occupations. I'm a member of the Society of Women Engineers, we call it SWE for short, and its goal is to support and encourage women in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math. Over 60 years ago when SWE was founded, there were more barriers to entry into engineering fields and it's puzzling to see the current trends. <number>

- Boring, Difficult, Technology In a study Google recently released, the company surveyed about 1,600 men and women. It showed that girls aren't really taught what computer science actually means, and are half as likely to be encouraged to study it. The words females associated with computer science used to describe it were "boring," "technology," and "difficult." Lack of Exposure Much of this has to do with exposure to computer science before college and during college. According to Code.org, nine out of ten schools don't even offer computer science classes, and in 28 out of 50 states, computer science doesn't count towards a math or science credit. Role Models Girls don't see enough role models in the IT profession
- EngineerYourLife.org Girls have this strange perception of IT and other engineering careers as it it's some unapproachable thing for which you have to be the smartest kid in your class. They think that it means sitting alone by yourself, thinking abstract thoughts about arcane things. But this is all about problem solving and collaborating with others. Innovation comes from one idea building upon the next AND diverse views feeding into these ideas. That's why it's so important to have a diverse community of people designing new applications and WOMEN are a big part of that diversity. And if you want to have a good paying job, come into that job marketplace with skills that understand IT and a brain that is trained to be analytical. FLEXIBILITY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD With the technology today to develop applications which can take advantage of data from sensors and analze and react to it in real time, we have made quite a difference in the world already and we continue to do so.

- This isn't meant to brag about IBM's treatment of women. The point is ROLE MODELS. Outisde IBM, women have advanced the field of computer science. Examples: Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer. She wrote the first ever computer algorithm and dreamed up the concept of artificial intelligence.In 1843 Admiral Grace Hopper She wrote a compiler so that subroutines could be stored and reused. This became COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language)1950s <number>

You want to be a software engineer and make a different in the world? How do you demonstrate that you belong and how do you THRIVE in a male dominated field? <number>
- Seek out mentors Eminence: use all the social tools we have today to make your work visible. But what if you're in a big company and you need to make sure the orgnaization's decision makers know about you? BRAG – YOU NEED TO PROMOTE YOURSELF. I found that framing it around the results help – you're trying to inform people of something great that got produced or delivered and btw, what your role in that was. Talk about what you learned in the process – that gives you another way to highlight your accomplishements. Keep growing and learning and staying current – challenges are fun – think about the days where you really felt good about your work – it was when you embraced a challenge and conquered it. Take those risks. Be yourself and bring your background and diversity to the table. Build your network Look for new opportuniies
