It can be lonely for a woman in the technology field.

At the college level, men earn 82 percent of engineering and computer science degrees.

Isolation and lack of mentors often prevent women from pursuing and advancing in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.

Dr. Akila Sarirete leads a networking technology program for woman at Effat University in Saudi Arabia. Her goal is to expand employment options for women and help advance their careers.
