Despitethe shrinking number of women engineering students at San José State University , the self-efficacy levels of the women engineering students were high. The authors can surmise thatwomen who choose to study engineering at SJSU feel confident in their abilities to succeed inengineering and or project such confidence given the male-dominated terrain of Engineering.A.
