Pilot sites were able to add several questions that could be tailored to their institution. Analyses of the data, from over 8000 responses, focused particularly on differences between male and female students suggesting some interesting issues. Perhaps the most important implication from this pilot survey is that institutions need to identify why women and men perceive the undergraduate engineering experience differently
