percentage of students graduating with engineering degrees in theU.S. compared to the rest of the world. This creates a shortage of skilled engineers required tokeep pace with the rest of the world in terms of technological and industrial development.Therefore, there is a significant emphasis on improving engineering education in the UnitedStates. For instance, in a report by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering titled “Educatingthe engineer of 2020” [4], it was recommended that engineering education be reinvented. Thesame report discussed the importance of understanding the students’ learning challenges anddevising better pedagogical approaches to improve engineering education. Along the same lines,one of the grand challenges [5] in the

Lego® robotics to Computer Aided Design (CAD)/3D printingfor the purpose of introducing engineering students to the design process began in the Fall 2017semester. The impetus behind the transition was the desire to provide students with an earlierexposure to CAD, utilize technologies more closely resembling those used in industry, allowstudents to participate in developing realistic projects, and provide exposure to the design formanufacturing concept. Additionally, completion of this course has provided students withtransferrable CAD skills which have reportedly had significant impact on helping students toobtain internships. In the current approach, the risks of premature fixation [6] and boundedideation are mitigated by requiring the

themes such as Future, Things Work, andImprovement. One student response remarked “wondering what could be improved, andimagining the possibilities with future technology is amazing and drives all brilliant inventions”.Student responses also show a correlation with exploring contrarian views in themes like TryNew Things, Hands-On, and Interest. A student response that reflected these ideas conveyed“just knowing that there's so much in the world that's undiscovered is what interests me in[engineering]”. It can be inferred that Curiosity aids students in exploring their surroundings, andinspiring them to learn about and help the world around them.ImplicationsThese results have several implications for how instructors and curriculum designers
in perceptions of female facultybetween students who attended gender-segregated schools, which are common amongst the localpopulation, and those who graduated from international schools. Finally, religion is expected toinfluence student perceptions because of certain rules and regulations in Islam – the most popularreligion in the Middle East – that restrict mixed-gender interactions.The results may shed light on the potential impact of female faculty on engineering students,especially female students. Based on the results, universities in the region may rethink theirfaculty model to better cater to the needs of students. The study may also encourage females inthe region to pursue a teaching career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or

Traditionalengineering courses involving semiconductor technology focus on developing the in-depthtechnical knowledge needed for practitioners to design systems using semiconductor technology.However, these courses are not accessible to a more general audience of students who couldbenefit from increased technical literacy. Moreover, because these courses focus primarily ontechnical details, they often have limited coverage of the broader characteristics of Table 1 thatfocus on the interaction of technology and society.
