Many faced personal/discriminatory interviewquestions, biases, and assumptions about what they could or could not do, in addition to beingsubjected to explicit discouragement and gender discrimination. The paper offersrecommendations for addressing these issues as well as further areas of research to pursue. Bybringing to light the issues surrounding females entering engineering professions in Qatar, thisstudy offers a contribution to women’s role and empowerment in the region.IntroductionWhile attracting women to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fieldshas been a steady concern in Western countries, female students across the Arab world aredominating most STEM educational programs [1-2].

plan toeducate scientists and engineers with a strong and vital humanities and arts component.The WPI Plan reasoned that the humanities and arts would place engineering in an ethicaland humane context, graduating young men and women to develop technology with aneye toward the greater good. More than forty years later, the humanistic values that haveremained so important to WPI’s general education of engineers have been embraced byschools of business and by engineering programs seeking to develop entrepreneurialengineers. Two of the attributes of an entrepreneurial engineer, as defined by the KernFamily Foundation’s Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), are essentiallythe qualities found in a well-educated humanist: First, curiosity

The build group created astress free environment where I felt that I could fail countless times and it would be OK. With apositive attitude I can keep on going and eventually succeed and learn what I want to do.Engineering is about experimentation and creating new products, ideas, and technology. Butwith that comes failure. I feel that school conditions students to become afraid of failure and tostick to what their comfort zones are and follow a path that is guaranteed to work. Butengineering needs risk taking to continue to innovate. In short, the build group made me morecomfortable with messing up

Exploring Approaches to Professional Development of Engineering Educators in the Arab Gulf RegionAbstract: The increased mobility of engineers worldwide poses new and difficultchallenges to country and/or region–based systems of engineering education, whoseadvocates now face the possibility that their graduates may not possess the skillsrecognized as valuable in other countries or by international employers operatingwithin their own country or region. One of the world’s regions where engineeringeducation is rapidly evolving, and becoming increasingly international is: the ArabGulf Region ((Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, andOman), which faces significant challenges as it seeks to meet the demands

Previously, engineering studentsonly had the option of taking General Chemistry (CHEM 151) for their chemistry course. Thefall 2015 was the first time CHEM 140 was offered for engineering majors. The ChemistryDFW rate went from 46.6 percent down to 25 percent between the semesters for engineeringmajors only.To circumvent the high DFW rate shown in Mathematics and Chemistry, the School ofEngineering turned toward the Supplemental Instruction (SI) program. The SI program was inplace on campus; however, there was not a heavy emphasis on Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses. Researchers have noted that some

It draws on acombination of work in critical history and Science Technology and Society fields, and theauthor’s literature reviews of engineering education publications. While primarily relying onsecondary sources, it is in the combination of the accounts, the connection to present dayeducational cultural settings, and the communication to a specific audience of educationalstakeholders that comprises this work’s intellectual contribution.A prominent theme of the historical narrative is to suggest a reflexive relationship between thedemographic representation of the discipline and its cultural normativities.
