Apples and oranges
You start by comparing "all engineering disciplines" from 1984 to present, then look at current trends in CS.

This totally misrepresents the fact that current female enrollment in the other disciplines is also falling.

Either compare CS in 1984 to CS today along with the others, or present the others' current trends. Otherwise it's impossible to make a valid comparison.

NB: This is a family member's research topic, so it gripes me no end to see it so badly presented.
