That explains why the cabin computer said, "beep".
Weren't they running all that on something like a TRS 80?
Or is that the ground support code, running on an IBM mainframe?

I think she was responsible for the lunar lander module, if I remember correctly.That explains why the cabin computer said, "beep".

I doubt you can stuff that much code into any (portable) computer built before 1970.
Since we dipped our toe into the subject of women in EE I tried to get some (even if rough)numbers of women in the field and I can pretty much only find % of women in engineering in general...(Perhaps because the numbers are higher in other fields of engineering)
I know that here in Iceland the number is quite low. There was one girl that started the same time as me...Quit after the first semester...There was another one that graduated around the 3rd semester I took.That's it in that time frame. Meanwhile around 30 guys started per semester and about 4 graduated...
Two of my teachers started this discussion every now and then. How to get more women interested in the field, we could not reach a concrete solution but were in an agreement that more women were needed to be involved in electronics.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post our head of the electronics department was/is a woman and she taught me 3 classes. She never started the discussion on the lack of women in the field or if memory serves, it ever coming up in any of her classes.
Probably/maybe she had her reasons...I'm not sure :|
