Not unexpectedly women constituteonly thirty percent of the sample. This is not unusual in higher education in science andtechnology in Western countries, where women have traditionally been under-represented.The option of no answer/other was added in the 2012 survey.Respondents identified the levels of the courses they normally taught. A good cross sectionof teachers teaching at all year levels from first year to PhD courses responded both in 2009and 2012.

Andrews, J.D. and Leslie Wilkins Maui Economic Development Board, Inc.AbstractThe barriers to gender equity in engineering are daunting in an environment where boys and girlsonly 9 years old have internalized gender stereotypes that dictate that physical-science andtechnology are for boys and that life science is for girls. In a world where minorities areprojected to make up more than 40% of new workforce entrants by 2008, it is unacceptable thatwhite high school students are four times more likely than African American students to

Action Plans to Help Students Satisfy Prerequisites: As Section 6 and Table A.3. show, thestudents may fail to fulfill multiple computational thinking prerequisites as well as other themesof prerequisites to participate in robotics-based lessons in middle schools. It may be treated asusual because the students were not formally trained for this purpose. Their informal knowledgeand skills made them able to fulfill many other prerequisites. We propose to implement thefollowing action plans by concerned schools/teachers before they start teaching STEM lessons tostudents through the use of robotics kits.1. Arrange some training sessions with the students who are to be taught math and science using robotics. During the training sessions
