According to Crystale Marsh, Michael Vandehey, and George Diekhoff[38]: “standardized [sic] test of academic aptitude do not assess the motivational skills necessary for success (Kerr, Fagley, & Miller, 1998) and fail to provide an ecologically valid assessment of the complex array of skills that are needed in college (Oldfield, 1994); Thompson & Kobrak, 1983),. High school performance fails to predict, with a high degree of accuracy, college success. First, the high school curriculum may not have prepared the student for

At the ColoradoSchool of Mines, an ethnographic study found that low-income, first-generation students facespecific barriers to feeling like they belong, including financial pressure, curriculum overload,lower family support, and lower confidence in technical skill, but that they could establish asense of belonging in engineering when their prior knowledge and experiences were validated7.A case study at the University of Maryland at College Park revealed that mismatches betweenstudents’ epistemological identities and the intellectual climate influence the decision to leave orstay in engineering8.

This would parallel the situation in some other countries where the college track requiresall students to follow the same curriculum, regardless of gender. In another way, it would alignwith education in the humanities and social sciences where the focus is not explicitly on careersand pipelines, but on knowledge.

These results have implications for the engineering educationclassroom where design is an integral part of the curriculum.1.

As they expressed, math was a big challenge for them,because it was related to science, engineering, and other STEM subjects. The concepts andproblems in math (e.g. algebra and fractions) were difficult to understand and were lessinteresting than other subjects. While, in science learning, students had troubles to comprehendthe concepts, integrate the knowledge, and solve complicated problems. However, studentsbelieved their capabilities to get good grades and push forward in math and science learning.
