During the Pandemic. Existing course activitieswere preserved in the curriculum but modified for effective delivery in the remote learningenvironment. For example, lectures covering specific engineering design concepts weredelivered synchronously (i.e., in real-time) over Zoom, and questions or feedback were takensynchronously throughout or after the presentation, or otherwise facilitated using Zoom’s chatfunction. The presentations were often recorded so students could return to the lecture materialthroughout the quarter. Table 1 provides additional examples of existing course activities and themodifications for the remote course environment.Table 1.

The roles and responsibilities that are traditionally held bywomen emphasize family responsibilities over professional job, especially in fields such asengineering that are considered masculine [19]. Forgasz et al. [20] emphasize that STEM fields,especially mathematics, science, and computing, are globally and locally perceived as male-dominated fields. This view likely discourages Middle Eastern women from continuing in thesefields and leads to the continuation of their underrepresentation.

Second, curriculum designreflects contemporary understanding of engineering practice.
