“…1) Achieve Gender Equity (SDG 5) : Long et al [68] studied the gender issues in depth by setting the background of case study in the undergraduate education for the major of computer science in China. This article discussed various existing gender issues, such as the correlations between gender divergence of employment and subject major, the imbalance of gender in the information companies, and so on.…”

In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly accepted the 2030 Development Agenda, which has included 92 paragraphs, and the Paragraph 91 defined 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 associated targets. The goal of this paper is to discover the correlations among SDGs and information and communications technologies (ICTs). This paper discusses the roles and opportunities that ICTs play in pursuing the SDGs. We identify a number of research gaps to those three pillars, social, economic, and environmental perspectives, of sustainable development. After extensive literature reviews on the SDG-related research initiatives and activities, we find that the majority of contributions to SDGs recognized by the IEEE and ACM research communities have mainly focused on the technical aspects while there are lack of the holistic social good perspectives. Therefore, there are essential and urgent needs to raise the awareness and call for attentions on how to innovate and energize ICTs in order to best assist all nations to achieve the SDGs by 2030.

“…At the end of 2012, 5,243 students, with only a percentage of 13.35 female students, were enrolled in a bachelor or master degree course of mechanical engineering at the Technische Universität München. Studies have shown that the participation of women in the information technology industry is dramatically low and that the enrollment in computer sciences (CS) is declining significantly [7]. In the next 10 years, more than half of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) job openings will be in software engineering.…”

Teaching large classes with about 1500 freshmen of mechanical engineering in modeling automata, model driven approaches and C-programming is a challenge for every university lecturer. Since effective learning requires feedback and interaction, e.g. approval of program correctness, hints for improvement etc., a web-based system called PIT (Prüfungssystem Informationstechnik, engl. examination tool of information technology) has been developed and introduced in 2010. Students homework and tests during the semester are done interactively with PIT, giving tutors the time to assist students and not only to review their homework and tests. Hence, there are two substantial benefits: A more effective education and support for the students and a reduction of the costs for the institute. Over the past few years, PIT has been extended regularly. In 2012 the addition of a new plant programming exam was done with great effort. In the summer semester of 2013 the new exam was obligatory for the students for the first time. Altogether, every student had to do three e-learning exams, one plant programming exam and finally one written exam. A detailed evaluation of the exams showed a great improvement of performance by female compared to male students and the benefits of the new plant programming exam which are presented in this paper.
