and of immediate value to the industry. Engineering education is the process of training engineers for the purposes of initiating, facilitating, and implementing technological development in society. Preparing students who are very knowledgeable of the technical fundamentals as well as the professional skills of engineering is considered the main objective of engineering education (p. 2).”2.3 Other Post-Conflict and Developing Countries ExperienceUNESCO (1998) describes that without a sufficient number of higher education and researchinstitutions that can provide “a critical mass of skilled and educated people, no country canensure genuine endogenous and sustainable development and, in particular, developing
numerous engineering reports and scholarlyworks [1], [10], [29]. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)includes many comprehensive skills to their program accreditation criteria, such as socialresponsibility and consideration of global, economic, and cultural factors [23], [30]. There havealso been some pushes from industry professionals who want to see engineering graduates betterprepared for the workforce by demonstrating an ability to contextualize engineering work incoordination with technical skills and knowledge [23], [31].While comprehensive skills are important to engineering work, their inclusion in curricula islacking [1], [29], [32], [33]. Even when a non-technical skill is noted as important, such as oncourse

(i.e.,muscular, extreme strength, womanizer, lack of emotions, calculating, rich, and tech savvy) withthe characteristics of mechanical engineers, the meme reinforces the perception of engineering asa domain dominated by masculine strength and power. The portrayal of Iron Man, aquintessential symbol of masculinity and technological prowess, further underscores theassociation between engineering and hypermasculinity, perpetuating a narrative of maledominance and superiority. This may also convey the message that being a mechanical engineeris grandiose or that it can lead to grandiose things, and that any other engineering majors (e.g.,civil, industrial) may fall short. Moreover, the image of Iron Man – shown as “ready to fight,”with his fist on
States of America (USA), engineering programs are under the supervision of anequivalent organization, named the accreditation board for engineering and technology (ABET).To standardize engineering practices and create equivalences across different countries,agreements exist between the different accreditation boards. Due to their proximity, a specificagreement exists between Canada and the USA [4], yet other ones were established with othercountries for the same purpose. Thus, accreditation boards are highly influenced by one anotherand changes on one side can inspire great improvements in the profession worldwide.In 2014, CEAB reviewed its accreditation process to align their requirements to thoseimplemented by ABET by adding a list of 12
whileleveraging the benefits of technology-enhanced education. This includes assessing how desk-scaleexperiments can be seamlessly integrated into both classroom and remote learning settings. Ourapproach employs a multi-methods research design, incorporating quantitative data analysis andqualitative assessments. We gather data on student performance, engagement, and satisfaction tomeasure the impact of the refined experiments and blended learning initiatives. The results of thisstudy will contribute to the ongoing efforts to enhance chemical engineering education byproviding a structured framework for curriculum development and evaluation. Ultimately, our goalis to advance the quality of education in the field and empower educators to create
the role of both civil engineer and architect. In 1818 the Institute of CivilEngineers appeared in Great Britain, and it was not until 1834 that the Royal Institute ofBritish Architects was formed in the same country. The creation of these twoinstitutions gave rise to different specializations in each profession. On the one hand,engineering and structural problems and, on the other hand, design and functionalspecifications [1]. This event initiated the creation of a gap between both constructionbranches that has been growing until today so that even though both professions sharesimilar design objectives the standards experienced are different [2], [3]. Nowadays, dueto technological advances and the growth of the demand for infrastructure
doctoral programs, the numbers are staggering,especially for engineering disciplines. According to the Council of Graduate Schools, attritionfrom engineering doctoral programs ranges from 35% for men to 44% for women, with higherrates reported for students in minority groups [1], [2]. Despite such staggering statistics,researchers have just begun to focus on education at the graduate level in response to a call fromthe National Academies for educational change, particularly in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics [3]. Ameliorating attrition at the graduate level is vital because each Ph.D.student who leaves their program represents an investment of both time and money by thestudents themselves and universities, departments, and

According to national statistics, only 32% of undergraduate students in STEMdisciplines are female and this percentage is decreasing as women dropout from STEM asthey move forward in their education. The analysis of the interviews revealed the mainbarriers, challenges, and issues influencing females and ranked their importance. A keyoutcome of the study is the importance of support, mainly from family and teachers, as it hasthe biggest impact on building confidence and retaining female engineers in their careers.Keywords: Transitional economy, STEM Education, Gender Gap, Female Engineers,Kazakhstan.1.

Engineering Excellence was created as an urgent response to a COVID-relatedsuspension of in-person learning and bridge programs, not effort to study a particular engineeringeducation research hypothesis. Meanwhile, several lessons were learned; • Creating a program that captures in-person type activities i.e., slides versus GoodNotes. • Using Zoom technology to streamline administrative tasks while the instructor focuses on creating an engaging class. This allowed enforcement of video engagement. • Simulating the homework, quiz, and test expectations of a credit course will elicit student behavior as if it were for credit. • Moving group work to the beginning of class and the addition of attendance points decreases the

only 13% of the engineering workforce are women. Also,underrepresented minorities earn a small proportion of the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) degrees, and represent an even smaller proportion of the workforce. Forexample, while approximately 11% of the total workforce is Black, only 6% of the STEMworkforce is Black (U.S. Department of Education, 2016). Often cited issues for leavingengineering are uncomfortable and unsupportive work climates (Singh, Fouad, Fitzpatrick, &Chang, 2014). Women who have earned bachelors degrees in engineering left engineering atmuch higher rates than men, and these women cite issues of poor workplace climates, bosses, orculture (Singh et al. 2014).
