However, according to statistics from 2010,within five years of graduation, 36 percent of women who obtained engineering bachelor’sdegrees either left or never entered the field and within fifteen years after graduation, 60 percentof women who earned engineering bachelor’s degrees had left the field [2].

This isconsistent with the results from Rodriguez & Esparrago [21]’s study which used the intrinsicmotivation inventory to determine that male and female students have significant differences inhow they are motivated by choice. Their study, which used a pretest/posttest design to study theimpacts of a multinational design project on motivation, found that female students did notexperience a reduction in their choice score after the design project. It is possible that the resultsof the current study describe consistency in the female student’s motivational scores alongside adecrease in overall academic motivation for males although this cannot be determined for
