Resumen
This study focuses on gender differences at University level of education regarding with Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E). For this reason, 1957 diplomas of Computer Engineers were studied. These diplomas have been taken through a 21 year period of time at the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department (CEID), University of Patras, Greece. The data of these diplomas were studied in order to investigate if there is any relation between gender and: a) diplomas taken through this 21 year period of time and b) achievement in terms of diploma's grading. The analysis of the data shows that: a) male graduated students were three times more than the female ones and b) regarding achievement, no significant differences exist between male and female graduate computer engineers.
