societal benefits of engineering in the first year might help to retain thesestudents.BackgroundEngineering is currently promoting itself with messages that engineers “improve people’s livesin meaningful ways”.20 This may help attract female students to engineering. A large number ofstudies have shown that women to a greater extent than men value work that helps and interactswith people, contributes to society, has a clear social purpose, and contributes to communalgoals.5,7,11- 17,19 This affinity may be due to female gender role4,6,8,14 or other factors.

The extended world-wide effects of recession and what is referred to as a “jobless”recovery from it, bring into focus the skills that future engineers should acquire in the course oftheir studies in order to be successful over the lifespan of their professional careers.

With this change comes the responsibility to design a learning progression ofengineering content that fits within science curricula. Posing a challenge, science curricula aretypically designed from the views of Western modern science.
