dc.description.abstract | This report presents the results of an evaluation of a Swedish government
initiative aimed at recruiting female students to higher education in mathematics,
science, and technology by promoting change in the form and
content of study programmes previously dominated by men. Five
development projects received funding within the initiative: Reforming the
Computer Science and Engineering Programme (D++), at Chalmers University
of Technology, Scientific Problem Solving at Göteborg University,
Women in Engineering Education at the University of Karlstad, The ITProgramme
at Linköping University, and the Project Programme at Stockholm
University, all of them providing degree programmes which address
the needs of new groups of students by offering courses which take into
account a wide range of student abilities, such as communicative skills,
problem-solving capacities and abilities to view the subject matter from
different disciplinary perspectives. | en |
