for their lack of success in school [14, 15]. IQ testing was put in place to“scientifically” demonstrate the inability of students to advance in educational settings, framingLatino/a/x students as mentally deficient, lazy, unhygienic, and culturally flawed [24]. Examplesof the manifestation of deficit ideologies include: (1) the assumption that home language (otherthan English) could be a barrier for learning [16-18]; (2) the presumed incompetency of studentsbased on race, gender, and other social identities [19, 20]; (3) the belief that community andhousehold practices lead to cultural aspects that are to blame for not adjusting to the project ofAmericanization through schooling [13, 21, 22]; and (4) an overall tendency to blame the victim

Lastly, we read those (newly) labeled students’ responses to evaluate whether assignedcodes to those responses through the NLP approaches were accurate or not. Here, accuracymeans that the assigned code represented the idea expressed in student responses. We technicallyimplemented those four processes in Google Colab notebooks that were written using acombination of the R and Python programming languages.

Researchers then met to determine consensus amongst the codes. This was followedby axial coding where the codes identified were compared to one another and relationships werehighlighted. The second stage was to determine themes that arose from the codes. Thecodes/relationships were used to identify themes and patterns across the data.LimitationsThe survey used to gather data for this project brought some limitations. Firstly, it was notspecified in the survey that students were expected to pick terms from the provided list. This ledto some students

transitionfrom undergraduate to graduate education can be a difficult transition regardless of gender.Significant differences exist between undergraduate and graduate engineering education in termsof the levels of technical expertise and independence expected of students. While it is part of mostundergraduate curricula to impart fundamental knowledge, teach problem-solving skills, anddevelop critical thinking, as soon as one enters a graduate program, these are assumed. First-yeargraduate students are expected to use their technical expertise and independence inadvanced-level courses and projects/scientific research, alongside older graduate students, withlittle mentoring or training to ease this transition. As a result, most students struggle to

Furthermore, women engineersin the Arab world are also limited in their job opportunities because cultural norms prevent themfrom traveling offshore alone [30]. As a result, companies prefer to hire men over women [30]. In Palestine, women engineers face similar limitations due to cultural norms, includingfeeling disrespected and unsafe in the workplace and having limited access to site experience [38].Moreover, despite engineering firms in Palestine being willing to hire women, the majority stillprefer men, highlighting the role of gender bias as a significant barrier for Arab women [38].Discussion Women in STEM fields, particularly
