      PSA because I’m seeing this a lot: CS is not the only kind of engineering. Many contribute to “tech industry”, also have problems.https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/893977712569835523 …

      Your periodic reminder that CS stands ALMOST ALONE among STEM fields for gender disparity. Mathematics, astronomy, biochem: ALL FAR BETTER.

      CS is still around the bottom of the barrel in engineeringhttps://twitter.com/tqbf/status/893978734814015488 …

      Physics, EE, and MechE are the other three bad fields, though IIRC CS is the worst of them.

      Yes, but I have a longstanding discomfort with CS being assumed to be equivalent to engineering. (esp out here) #chiponshoulder

      I'm not sure I understand. CS is taken to be equivalent in what sense?

      When people out here say “I’m hiring an engineer” they mean a CS person.

      Seeing CS contrasted against astronomy, math, etc seemed to stand alone as the E in STEM.

      This bar graph also does a better job of displaying how CS has been doing over time..pic.twitter.com/eFqPSfFuVS

      Oh I don’t discount the trend issue. But also, the “snapshot of today” is basically equivalent for E and CS, so… why ignore rest of E?

      And yea, the Bay Area engineering world is fairly homogeneous in what type of engineer is meant by the word "engineer" I'm unbothered

      If I worked in power engineering I wouldn't expect to say "I want to hire an electrical engineer" always; the implicit "engineer" seems ok..

          That doesn't mean I don't realize mechanical engineers exist, but if you and nobody you know hire or work with any..
