The questionnaire covers the perception of incorporating gender perspectivesin a higher education institution across three dimensions: (1) Institutional sensitivity to genderperspectives, (2) Integration of gender perspectives into the curriculum, and (3) Awareness ofgender inequalities in the classroom. The results allow for the characterization of the sample'sperception regarding incorporating gender perspectives into their engineering educationprograms. Furthermore, it is worth noting that statistically significant differences exist betweenthe perceptions of men and women concerning the

Research indicates that the approach can enhance the learning outcomes ofengineering students10-11. While there is an integration between PBL and the design-project-basedapproach, it’s important to emphasize that the design project approach primarily focuses onaddressing design problems. This method utilizes PBL to enrich students’ learning experiences,specifically concerning on design, and manufacturing processes, leading to the creation of tangibleproducts or solutions.

Transfer Course Abstract Concept maps are widely used in foundational non-engineering science courses to help students express their own understanding of course material. By creating a concept map, students are able to visualize the relationships between different course topics. In recent years, the use of concept maps in fundamental engineering courses has gained growing attention. They have been reported to be very effective in providing students with an interactive learning experience by leveraging constructivist pedagogy. This work reports the effectiveness of integrating concept maps as a learning tool in an undergraduate Heat Transfer course for students majoring in Mechanical
