having a goodunderstanding of what engineering is as a major and a field. That understanding itself variesdepending on what type of engineering program the first year student is in, and what gender theyare. The majority of participants however saw engineering as cross functional, responding thatengineers work with people, machines and technology to solve problems and help society. Thismultifaceted view is a positive sign for the freshmen engineers, as they will often have to workon projects and in areas that can span several engineering and non-engineering fields. Regardlessof major, the first year students showed a grasp of the fundamentals of engineering beingproblem solving and improving.Incoming engineering students also have largely

degree within six years in any science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) field [2]. As the U.S. aims to increase their STEM workforce, they arefaced with the harsh truth that, while women and ethnic minorities represent 70% of collegestudents, less than 45% are pursuing a degree in STEM [3]. Women represent nearly half of theworkforce in the U.S. however, only a quarter of these women hold STEM jobs [4]. With thesetroubling facts of the U.S. schools and workforce, studies would further suggest that, whilerecruitment efforts are being geared further towards racially and ethnically diverse men andwomen students, little is being done to ensure their retention in their STEM careers.

in perceptions of female facultybetween students who attended gender-segregated schools, which are common amongst the localpopulation, and those who graduated from international schools. Finally, religion is expected toinfluence student perceptions because of certain rules and regulations in Islam – the most popularreligion in the Middle East – that restrict mixed-gender interactions.The results may shed light on the potential impact of female faculty on engineering students,especially female students. Based on the results, universities in the region may rethink theirfaculty model to better cater to the needs of students. The study may also encourage females inthe region to pursue a teaching career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or
