construction training self-efficacywas significantly lower (p = 0.033) for females than males. Females also reported a more internallocus of control and lower level of motivation towards construction education than malestudents; however, the differences were not statistically significant (α = 0.05).Results suggest that female students were less confident in their abilities regarding constructioneducation and were more likely to express an internal locus of control. A low levels of self-efficacy has been linked in previous research to poor performance and low retention amongfemale students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs. Resultsunderscore the need for strategies that boost construction education-specific self-efficacy

Most universities in the United States (US) now have atleast one course that includes ethics or related topics in their undergraduate engineeringcurricula. However, due to qualitative and abstract nature of the topic, the ethics course does notdraw the same level of attention from students compared to other courses like physics and
