Abstract: The gender gap in STEM disciplines manifests itself in several axes. One of these, not covered in depth in the literature, is the likelihood of different academic achievements by men and women in some technology-oriented courses. We address this question in this work, providing a cross-sectional study conducted on an entry-level course on computer networking at the college level. Our findings suggest that, while we do not observe statistically significant difference in the final grades, women perform slightly better in some specific individual tasks and tend to have more intense participation in social learning activities. Interestingly, our results do not confirm the hypothesis that men tend to show higher variance in their achievements than women.
