of fall 2018 had over 2000undergraduate students enrolled [8]. Although overall the university enrolls more undergraduatewomen [9], this is not true for the college of engineering. As reported in 2016 only 24% ofundergraduates and graduates seeking engineering degrees at this university were women [10]. A search of the literature was conducted using the ERIC database, and 89 peer reviewed,academic journal articles published in the last 15 years were found to be relevant to the currentstudy. To be included as a relevant study, the focus had to be on factors influencing women’sdecisions to major in engineering and/or gender differences in influences to choose anengineering or STEM major. Twenty-eight studies clearly met these criteria

However, very recently (as the authors were in the process of writing thismanuscript) a royal decree was issued (February 6, 2018) to establish a college of engineering atPNU [30]. KFUPM (King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals), one of the most reputedpublic universities in the kingdom, is currently being approached to make available a girls’section in the university, and offer degrees in petroleum and excavation engineering [31].

acting,working, collaborating, etc.). Individual choice then is pressured by network peers to conform totheir normative processes and practices. In academia, challenges of interdisciplinarity can beparticularly strenuous. Engineering as a discipline can be viewed as a large network, but when youexamine engineering more closely, you understand that the various subdisciplines are strongnetworks with ties (connections) to the overarching network of engineering. Sometimes crossingdisciplinary lines, even from one subdiscipline of engineering to another can be particularlydifficult – especially as institutional factors (like Tenure & Promotion) are taken intoconsideration. Needless to say, this can be particularly challenging for those

Studies of social identitythreat have shown that women experience a lower sense of belonging and show more cognitiveand physiological vigilance when presented with the prospect of participating in male-dominatedevents compared to more gender-balanced events [33]. Women also report a lower sense ofbelonging than their male peers throughout the undergraduate [34], [35], [36] and graduate years[37], to the detriment of their studies and well-being.
