Several initiatives to improve theseskills have been implemented at various academic institutions. This study aims to apply dataanalytics (DA) to generate a predictive model for improvement of scores in a commonly usedspatial visualization test. This model is based on pre- and post- scores by first-year engineeringstudents, and the objective is to identify the

majors had higherEQ/SQ ratios than their counterparts in STEM majors, with female students in non-STEM majorshaving the highest EQ/SQ ratio (X ¯ EQ/SQ = 1.49). It is clear that gender difference in EQ/SQ ratiowas smaller in STEM majors (1.16 for females vs. 1.02 for males) than in non-STEM majors(1.49 for females vs. 1.12 for males). In engineering majors that had sufficient sample sizes (n >5), the general pattern was that female students had higher EQ/SQ ratios than male students.However, for the three engineering majors with very small sample size (civil engineering,computer/electronic engineering, and engineering technology), the few female students reportedlower EQ/SQ ratios than their male peers (see Table 1).

This study provides a counter-narrative tounderrepresentation of women in this field by presenting the pathways of those achieving orexceeding parity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields outside ofthe United States.1. Introduction Computer science has been identified as one of the STEM fields most in demand. Computerscience has been identified as a powerful educational tool for critical thinking, problem solving,and creativity [1]. There are studies exploring why participation of female students in the field ofcomputer science in the United States is so low [1],[2]. In 2017, women in the
