However, the argument of this paper isthat the current topical coverage of an engineering economics course satisfies the requirementsfor social and/or behavioral sciences recognition because it provides necessary skills inquantitative and financial literacy with respect to decision making. This argument follows thepatterns and urgencies for increasing K-12 standards in mathematics in support of a thrivingfuture science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.Other key arguments of note:  Economic and social progress is an outcome of engineering change and application. It is estimated that 75-88% of all wealth creation is attributed to the

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 What Factors Influence the Interest of Male and Female Students in STEM (Evaluation)IntroductionTo strengthen our innovation and economy, a focus on STEM (Science Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) is critical [1]. In the past five years, STEM field occupationshave grown by 10.5%, while non-STEM fields have grown by only 5.2% [2]. Although morejobs are being created in STEM fields, and with the need for more innovation in STEM, there isa lack of people entering the STEM workforce after high school. Few secondary educationstudents are interested in the STEM disciplines [3].The percentage of women in STEM fields in the United States is very small with

This isthe natural learning style for students.
