Abstract

STEM is the acronyms for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic, and refers to academic disciplines of technical fields. In most places of the word the number of female students that choose to go to an undergraduate course in technical fields is considerably smaller than the total number of women in society, that is near 50%. In this panel we discuss how to improve the number of female students and the possible causes of this phenomenon. The STEM is one of the fields that contributes significantly with the number of professionals for Computer Graphics, increase the number of female students in this field can have a good impact to increase the numbers of women working in Computer Graphics.
