ElBialy, Waled Mukahal, Saud GhaniIntroductionEngineering is a STEM subject (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) offering toyoung students the equipment, skills and knowledge to evaluate evidence, make sense ofinformation and solve problems [1]. Therefore the ability to solve problems creatively has beenidentified as one of the imperative competencies for graduating students. The need to engagemore female students to study STEM subjects is a worldwide concern and was also highlightedby US President Barak Obama [2].

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
