disparities, revealing that the global representation of female STEM students stands at amere 35%, plummeting to 28% for doctoral students [3]. In regions such as South Asia,Sub-Saharan Africa, and West Asia, one in five researchers in STEM are women [3].According to Werz, Schmitt, Borowski, Wilkesmann, & Isenhardt [4], relatively few womendecide to pursue STEM degrees in higher education, and even fewer enter the workforce inthese fields, of which a tiny fraction manage to attain that middle or higher management statuspositions. For example, in the Netherlands, approximately 24% of STEM graduates arewomen, of which 71% opt for a career outside STEM; as a result, only 13% of STEM workersare women – putting the Netherlands at the bottom of

We analyzed the transcripts from the focus groupsusing an inductive approach to coding the data to uncover themes. Preliminary results suggest thatstudents discussed the following themes: educational outlooks, class applications, culturalinteraction and exchanges, cultural intelligence, career outlooks, skill development, and advice toother students. Our draft paper discusses preliminary results by comparing and contrasting the No-COIL, COIL, and COIL+ student responses.Keywords: Collaborative Online International Learning, COIL, Short-term study abroadprograms, Faculty led study abroad, Focus groups, Undergraduate engineering

According to women faculty, what factors contribute to persistent gender disparity in engineering faculty in Ethiopian engineering colleges? 2. What strategies and interventions can be implemented to address the persistent gender disparity in engineering faculty and women's career advancement in engineering fields?This study's significance lies in informing Ethiopian policy and decision-makers within thehigher education systems.
