Abstract
We present our experience in teaching Honors course Women in Computing that was offered for the first time in Fall 2009. The course is cross listed with Women's Studies and provides Honors students with interdisciplinary experience. This course provides an opportunity for students to learn about pioneering women of computing and their contribution into computing field, as well as modern trends and modern gender issues in computer science. The course also introduces students to the world of computing by linking various computer science concepts to the specific contribution. This course brings together undergraduate Honors students from different majors and creates opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration through the in-class laboratory assignments and team projects. Part of the value of the course experience is in the blending of student expertise in the formation of teams.
