nationwide.Additionally, the course choice opportunity data gathered from the institution catalogscharacterize the degree programs at a single point in time; however, curricula can change overtime. Some students matriculating through the degree programs (such as transfer students orthose with Advanced Placement course credit) may experience curricular choice opportunity thatis incongruent with what is reported in the catalog.Keeping these limitations in mind and looking at the program correlations next to the medianpercentages of their bachelor’s degrees earned by women, it is interesting to cautiously note thatthe correlations were the lowest (and not significant) for chemical and civil engineering, which—of the four disciplines—were more popular with women in

The basis for this studyshould rely on success stories and experiences in Jordan, Malaysia, and other countries, whilekeeping in mind fundamental social and religious Saudi values. Given also Saudi’s challengingclimate, it is recommended (at least initially) that some of the ‘softer’ disciplines such aschemical, civil, electrical, industrial and systems, environmental, earth, and biologicalengineering be first adopted in Saudi higher education institutions. This detailed feasibility survey should be distributed to a large group of high-schoolstudents, parents of students, academics, important figures, government officials, companies,school administrators, and college and

Every week, we would all combine our individualknowledge and experience to work together and complete the build as a team, which was themost rewarding to me.”“The aspect of flexibility made the biggest impact on me because it allowed the group membersto realize how we can do anything that we set our mind to. If we wanted to do a side project, andthe resources were there, we would just go for it.”“Seeing successful women in engineering.

Data will be analyzed for recurring themes amongthe students in their experiences both positive and negative (e.g., moments they thought theywanted to quit, experiences that caused them to feel they could or could not achieve a STEMdegree, what changed their mind about staying, or what event caused them to switch to adifferent field).

Furthermore, as shown in Table 3, among those whoreported chemistry as important at the beginning of the semester, a larger proportion of thosewho used SI reported chemistry remained important at the end of the semester than those whodid not use SI (i.e., students who used SI were less likely to change their minds about thecourse’s importance than those who did not use SI). Together, these findings suggest that theperceived importance of learning a gateway science subject by an engineering student

I have support and friendship of womenwho are both in my major and going through similar situations…it is sometimes hard to be awoman and stand up for things in male dominated classes.” This camaraderie from peers andadvice from upperclassman seemed to help the first-year female students in science andengineering cope with the academic and social stressors within their majors, as reported by ageneral engineering student: I like how the other students in the program are like-minded as me, and understand the struggles/challenges I face not only as a woman in STEM, but simply as a college student.
