Engineers has established a list of Grand Challenges forengineers which include several topics that will require novel designs based on chemicalengineering expertise, such as engineering better medicines, providing access to clean water,providing energy from fusion, managing the nitrogen cycle, preventing nuclear terror, anddeveloping carbon sequestration technologies [1]. These grand challenges present the opportunityfor chemical engineers to show their curiosity and creativity in determining new processes anddesign solutions. The need for these innovative, entrepreneurial engineers is obvious, and theuniversities are recognizing the need to incorporate these skills into their curriculum [2] [3] [4, 5].

primary instrument used in this first phase of the study was Schraw, Dunkle, andBendixen’s (2002) Epistemic Belief Inventory (EBI) [3]. The instrument is in the form of aquestionnaire and it was administered to 39 female students in their freshman and sophomoreyears in an engineering college in the Arabian Gulf. The results showed that there was very littlevariation between the two levels of students, indicating that the issue of developing students’epistemic beliefs needs to be addressed more thoroughly. This could be done possibly in theintroductory engineering courses or as curriculum infused in other Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses.Keywords—epitemic beliefs; inventory; engineering students; female; Arabian
