ElBialy, Waled Mukahal, Saud GhaniIntroductionEngineering is a STEM subject (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) offering toyoung students the equipment, skills and knowledge to evaluate evidence, make sense ofinformation and solve problems [1]. Therefore the ability to solve problems creatively has beenidentified as one of the imperative competencies for graduating students. The need to engagemore female students to study STEM subjects is a worldwide concern and was also highlightedby US President Barak Obama [2]. By providing knowledge platforms, regardless genderdifferentiations, helps scientific society to broadness its achievements and consequently improvethe industry outcomes.

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

While popular media outlets sometimes report research ethics scandals, critical ethical inquiry into science and engineering is usually limited to university study in the various areas of applied ethics. Topics such as pollution and the use of non-‐renewable resources in science and engineering, STEM in the defense industry, the proper use of taxpayer dollars to fund controversial research, and the role of information technology in threats to individual privacy

Team dynamics, particularly in terms of communication, may be affected by cultural norms and the technology associated with virtual teams. Engineering principles never change, but the context within which engineering challenges exist differs by geography, culture, etc., and this affects problem framing, design. constraints, and deliverables.
