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

ensuring students and teachers in many K-12 classrooms across theUS will be engaged with engineering education. The framework upon which the NGSSis based states, “Students should learn how science is used, in particular through theengineering design process, and they should come to appreciate the distinctions andrelationships between engineering, technology, and the applications of science”2.Science and engineering complement each other in many ways, but teach studentsdifferent, yet equally important, skill sets. “If the core of science is discovery, then theessence of engineering is creation”3. The challenge of including engineering in schoolprograms is evident4, especially at the elementary level where time dedicated to scienceinstruction is far

Furthermore, the American Society of EngineeringEducation affirms that “diversity and inclusiveness is essential to enriching educationalexperiences and innovations that drive the development of creative solutions in addressing theworld's challenges” [38]. Many professional societies reiterate these sentiments in their ownstatements. For example, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers is “commit[ed] to promotingdiversity and inclusion of all within our community [and] believe that diverse perspectives andtalents are essential within manufacturing research” [39].Rationale

With thesegoals in mind, the objective of this study was to examine how a newly developed instructionalmodel, known as Argument Driven Engineering (ADE), is related to changes in middle schoolstudents’ attitudes toward engineering and participation in engineering careers. This study ofengineering attitudes is important both for developing effective curriculum and pedagogy forengineering in science classrooms, and also for addressing nation-wide problems with diverserepresentation and participation in engineering degree programs and occupations.In 2012 the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a reportprojecting
