This Graph demonstrates the percentage difference in STEM fields between women and men. This is the problem I describe in my paper. Women are underrepresented in these fields for various reasons. This is a problem that we must find a solution for because we are lacking the contributions from a large part of our society.
Possible solution could be tackling this issues from high school age by having summer programs to orient and prepare more female students for STEM majors and create and stimulate more interest. However the problem goes even further once women enter college. Colleges need to keep women in these majors by changing the style of these majors and their pedagogy and gearing the classes and major more towards both major.
