mathematics content ofmost careers related to STEM disciplines is overwhelming, and therefore would muchrather pursue other careers which may be related to liberal arts, management, finance etc. This issue was analyzed and various factors were considered which possibly leadto this. Some of these factors were identified to be : (a) Career related aspects. Students do not know much about careers in the STEM fields, regarding 1. what the job entails, 2. compensation, 3. types of positions, 4. whether there will be enough jobs in those fields in the future 5. are jobs in those fields difficult to do 6. where are those jobs located(b) Education related aspects

Students utilized Fuzzy logic to control the position andorientation of the micro robot. Fuzzy logic is a methodology used to make computers assimilateour way of thinking to solve problems11, 12. It is especially useful when a complete dynamics ofthe system can not be estimated. The development of the fuzzy logic speed control is to bebroken down into three parts

Many computer science educators have argued for this approach in which the firstcourse introduces to a broader range of topics in the CSE discipline. Creating a universalintroductory “breadth-first” course that introduces a dynamic field like CSE is a very dauntingtask. Developing a successful stand-alone breadth-first implementation, however, has proven tobe even more difficult. One option though has been to use the breadth-first model as a lead-in toa more

So if you are getting a B or C in one of your classes, don’t start to think that you are a failure or that engineering isn’t for you or that you aren’t smart enough or that maybe you should just withdraw. It’s important to take a step back and remind yourself that you don’t have to be perfect, but you can still succeed.”DiscussionThe findings of this study reveal that the major hindrances that female students encountered inthe university related to ineffective professors and professors who did not provide a positiveclimate/environment in the engineering classrooms and/or departments.

PurposeThe purpose of this pilot study was to determine what types of support school counselors need.It also involves the exploration of school counselors’ perceptions of engineering. Specifically,this study is guided by the following research questions: ≠ “What are school counselors’ perceptions of engineering?” ≠ “What is the self-reported need for and support desired by professional school counselors to aid their work with academic and career development related to students and engineering?”II.
