state with littletradition in the strategic placement of university resources to leverage the growth ofmodern industries. The new department was regarded by some traditionalists as beingduplicative because there already existed a strong engineering school in the state, albeitphysically located in a sparsely populated area with little proximate industry. The newprogram was defensible only because, by being located in a populous area with the greatmajority of the technology industry in the state nearby, it could serve the large populationof place-bound students who could only afford a college education if they could live athome. It also gave employees of the manufacturing firms, typically technicians, access toengineering education which give
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

a STEM(Science Technology Engineering and Math) related field, learn and comprehend materialat universities across the country is crucial for effective teaching. Two main approachesto teaching and learning alike are the inductive and deductive approaches. The inductiveapproach begins with making observations and taking measurements for analysis andthen arriving at the laws and theories that explains why you saw what you saw. This isthe natural learning style for students. The deductive approach begins with the laws andtheories leading to applications and is the natural way for professors to teach the material.It is obvious there is a conflict of interest between professors and students, which can actas a barrier for effective learning and
