The proposal goal is to produce next-generation physicsgraduate students that are trained to evaluate and overcome complex technical problems by theirparticipation in courses emphasizing the commercialization of technology research.

Good design practices can be observed, but how canthe expertise and methodologies employed be captured, transferred, implemented, formalized orimproved? Why are some people more likely to be good designers? These are just some of thequestions that researchers and practitioners have sought to answer.In engineering education, students (undergraduate and graduate) are often involved asparticipants in various design projects and work as research team members. As part of theireducation, students may have received some guidance on how to perform in a team and how toproceed through the design process, though this can vary widely from one engineering disciplineto another

Recently, convergent research involving manydisciplinary areas becomes a new paradigm of solving complex scientific questions.Multidisciplinary research collaboration makes it possible to approach these questions in a moredisciplinary-focused eye and promotes synergistic effects in exploring the opportunity forscientific and technological advancement [1]. Thus, engineering graduates must possess technicalknowledge and creative skills not only in their specialization, but must be competent in allengineering disciplines.

arefemale [10]. It is much lower than the women enrolment in engineering education and one of themain reasons is the discriminating condition in the working life. The New Labor Law adopted in2003, aims to solve this problem by prohibiting the employers against gender discrimination(Art.5).Paradoxically, at the same time with the New Labor Law, there are serious signals of genderdiscrimination in the professional life. This means that equal legal opportunities do not guaranteeequal rights in reality. This is why research on gender issue is important to determine the reasonsof discrimination and discuss ways of overcoming them.The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors influencing the female participation inengineering education in Turkey as
