  Dr. Stephen Bloch, a professor in the Department of Math and Computer Science at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York, told eWEEK that computer science degree enrollments have been "in the toilet" since 2001.
  
  "They seemed to be edging back up in the last year or so, but when people stopped taking these majors, it seemed that the women stopped harder," Block said.
  
  In the fall of 2000, Bloch taught a programming course that was a prerequisite for a computer science degree, for which enrollment was 40 percent women.In the current academic year, there is only one female computer science major, he said.
  
  "I encounter a good number of math majors.There are a lot of women in that class, and they are doing well, which suggests that they may have been good at CS.I'm not sure at which point they're being steered elsewhere," Bloch said.

  "In 2001, the dot-com bubble burst and everyone decided there were no jobs in this field," says Adelphi University professor Stephen Bloch. "Maybe the female students have been more sensitive to this.

  Adelphi University mathematics and computer science professor and ACM member Stephen Bloch will head an effort to train more than 150 college faculty members on a new way to teach introductory computer programming. "TeachScheme, ReachJava! focuses heavily on problem-solving skills. Dr. Bloch developed the technique with colleagues from Northeastern University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, University of Utah, and California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. He will also lead the effort to study the impact of the method on students as program participants introduce the technique in their classrooms. "Our curriculum starts students with a consistent and simple language," Bloch explains. "Students develop good programming habits and a solid understanding of concepts like 'variable,' 'data type,' and 'function' and then learn to apply the same skills and concepts in other, more complex languages. Bloch received a four-year, $499,688 grant from the National Science Foundation to host the week-long workshops during the summer.
