-related careers among allstudents.IntroductionRemotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are critical tools in modern engineering, playing a pivotalrole in subsea exploration, maintenance, and inspection. By extending human capabilities inchallenging environments, ROVs drive innovation and create a growing demand for skilledprofessionals in ROV teleoperation. However, limited research exists on how individuals,particularly first-year engineering students, develop interest and perceptions about careers in thisemerging field. Understanding these early career perceptions is essential, as they significantly 1influence students' academic and professional trajectories, particularly in emerging technologicaldomains

IntroductionActive learning—where students meaningfully engage in tasks, discussions, and problem-solving—has been widely recognized as an effective strategy for improving conceptualunderstanding and student performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields [1]. Prince defines active learning as any instructional method that encouragesstudents to actively participate in the learning process rather than passively absorbing informationthrough traditional lecturing [1]. Research consistently shows that these methods not only improveacademic achievement but also foster higher-order thinking

Accordingto the Bureau of Labor Statistics, percentage of graduating women engineers in 2022 was around20% and there was not much improvement in this over the past decade. Research has identifiedseveral factors influencing this underrepresentation of women in engineering, including societalstereotypes portraying engineering as a job suited for only men [2], a lack of visible successfulrole models [3], microaggressions, gender biases and social isolation from male counterparts [4,Chandler (2017)], work life balance issues and inequitable compensation [1].Previous studies [5] indicate that women in Science
