The questionnaire covers the perception of incorporating gender perspectivesin a higher education institution across three dimensions: (1) Institutional sensitivity to genderperspectives, (2) Integration of gender perspectives into the curriculum, and (3) Awareness ofgender inequalities in the classroom. The results allow for the characterization of the sample'sperception regarding incorporating gender perspectives into their engineering educationprograms. Furthermore, it is worth noting that statistically significant differences exist betweenthe perceptions of men and women concerning the

Accordingto one study, students with positive experiences in primary education STEM subjects are morelikely to pursue STEM at a different level [2]. In addition, females have a much lowerrepresentation than males do across typical STEM subjects. Learning STEM subjects is apathway to good jobs, and those jobs are important to the American economy [4].Achievement gaps in STEM among gender groups and the underrepresentation of females inthese fields should be addressed if the United States is to meet its educational goals [3]. Over thepast thirty years, women have made substantial educational gains in male-dominated STEMfields and careers. However, a gender imbalance still remains

an activity where students can explore the concepts of beauty andelegance and their relationship with engineering and the students' own interests. Part of thepurview of many first-year engineering (FYE) seminars and other introductory courses is to helpstudents understand the field of engineering in more depth and to help students appreciate howthey can connect with and be successful in engineering. Some incoming students viewengineering as job-focused and transactional or have been directed into engineering fields awayfrom career paths more traditionally associated with self-expression, to increase their futureearnings or career stability.

In the laboratory, studentsalso have opportunities for design, problem solving, and exposure to real-world issues that arenot usually present in traditional hand-written homework assignments [1].

While that research has some indicators of being increasingly focused on equity,there are also substantial gaps. For example, while publications that include student disabilitystatus have been increasing, the number still remains very low (fewer than 5%).

However, most instructorsstill teach this way [2], many assuming that motivated students will master content as they solvehomework problems, regardless of delivery method.
