We're wrapping up Women's History Month by talking about the influence of work traditionally done by women on the fields of computer science and engineering. From using binary code to manually weaving memory cores for the Apollo Missions, women have been at the forefront of many innovations in the industry without proper credit.
Computer scientist and engineer Mark Dean is credited with helping develop multiple major technologies, among them the Industry Standard Architecture system bus, the color PC monitor and the first gigahertz chip. Learn more about his history with IBM and his breakthroughs in computer engineering here!
