Men, in comparison to women, were more inspired by role models from allcategories. Teachers and family members were considered as the greatest source of inspirationand encouragement to pursue a STEM career by both men and women. Furthermore almost 88%of the current engineering faculty members consider themselves as role models. The dataindicates that while faculty members support students’ growth

As such, inefforts to stave off attrition from graduate programs, engineering graduate students’ self-efficacyin the academic and research domains have received much attention from researchers [3], [4].
