Female Graduates of Computer Science from the Western Paraná State University: what came next?
Abstract
This paper presents a project in which the goal is to collect data about the female graduates of Computer Science of the Western Parana State University in order to comprehend what their challenges were during and after graduation. The research was applied through a form answered by 40 graduated out of a total of 102, and includes objective and open questions. After data collection, information was obtained, among others, about which were the graduate main areas of interest, as well if they suffered from prejudice and criticism. It was possible to establish ways to attract and motivate the permanence of women with interest in Computer area.
