], [15]. Despite thelarge body of research supporting the PSI, some criticisms can also be made. Namely, self-assessment of personal abilities is inherently affected by self-esteem, or an individual’s feelingsabout their own value and capabilities. Poor appraisals can be associated with low self-esteemrather than low self-efficacy, which could be the case for an individual who scores low on PSIbut is known by an instructor to be a good self-motivated student who succeeds a problem-solving. Similarly, a known bad student at problem-solving could score high on PSI due to anover-inflated evaluation of their own abilities.3.

particular, some reasons provided in the literature paint a highly gendered classification oftalent/capabilities: females are less skilled in science and math, which diminishes femaleconfidence (stereotype threat) [13-15]; females have an inborn disposition for ‘caring’ or‘humanities’ jobs [16], and female secondary students have lower self-efficacy in STEM subjectsand lower interest in engineering [17].The underrepresentation of females in both Canadian and American programs is evident inFigures 1 and 2, but another interesting and yet-to-be-understood phenomenon is theheterogeneous distribution of female enrolment by program. If we understood the causes for therelatively high female enrolment in disciplines such as Chemical Engineering, then we

Another important consideration is thatthe sample of responses under question represent 100% of teacher participants for the 2017 and2018 WE2NG programs but represent only a small convenience-sample of STEM teachers in general.Thus, results of inferential statistical methods should be treated with caution when considering theirapplicability to the entire population of STEM teachers.

Hyperspectral imaging measures the spatial and spectralcharacteristics of an object by imaging it at different wavelengths. The wavelength range extendsbeyond the visible spectrum and covers ultraviolet (UV) to long wave infrared (LWIR)wavelengths. A hyperspectral imaging sensor acquires several numbers of images with narrowand neighboring wavelengths within a specified spectral range. To visualize and understand theobject being imaged, it is useful to represent the data as a 2-D image by using color schemes.The proposed algorithm represented the output of the
