primary instrument used in this first phase of the study was Schraw, Dunkle, andBendixen’s (2002) Epistemic Belief Inventory (EBI) [3]. The instrument is in the form of aquestionnaire and it was administered to 39 female students in their freshman and sophomoreyears in an engineering college in the Arabian Gulf. The results showed that there was very littlevariation between the two levels of students, indicating that the issue of developing students’epistemic beliefs needs to be addressed more thoroughly. This could be done possibly in theintroductory engineering courses or as curriculum infused in other Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses.Keywords—epitemic beliefs; inventory; engineering students; female; Arabian
