“…They suggest the possible reason that socio-cultural and labor market gender preconceptions, psychosocial influences, formulation and implementation of gender insensitive policies, and lack of awareness of engineering opportunities. Longe et al [15] also studied women's engineering education experiences in Nigeria using primary and secondary data. They found that female engineering students' enrollment has a decreasing trend from the 2011-2017 academic year.…”

Recently, women in engineering and technology education have been given due importance in academic studies. In this background, the study has been carried out with two objectives. The first is to compare women's participation in engineering and technology vis-à-vis other STEM subjects. It has been done based on secondary data of enrollment, and the second one is to discuss the factors affecting their choice of pursuing engineering and technology. The average registration of women in engineering and technology is 24%, lower than any other study field. The second objective has been analyzed based on primary data collected from 384 women students learning engineering and technology and other science subjects (i.e., chemistry, biology, mathematics, statistics, physics). The result of Logit regression on factors affecting women's choice of learning engineering and technology reveals that expected salary is the most influencing factor. Other factors, high school education performance (results of grade 12 exam), the presence of an engineer and technologist in the family, access to role models, and the family's annual income, positively affect women's choice of learning engineering and technology education. All stakeholders, such as the government, teaching institutions, and associations dealing with women in engineering and technology education, must have appropriate measures for making role models more visible.INDEX TERMS women, choice of field stream, engineering and technology education, Ethiopia

“…They participated in the future-fit classroom learning in the module called Project Communication 1B (PJCEEB1). Engineering students form a good sample space for such a study as these as they have been constructively used in previous pedagogy studies such as the studies presented in [17] for technical engineering students, and [18]- [20] for degree engineering students. The subsequent research inquiries were established to provide answers to the following research questions:…”

The success of every educational activity hinges on the quality of the students’ learning experiences. This survey-based study analysed engineering students’ perceptions of their learning experiences in a future-fit classroom (FFC) compared with conventional classrooms. In this study, structured interviews using online questionnaire, that were filled out by the students, was employed as a tool. Descriptive statistics for mean, coefficient of variation (CV), as well as linear correlation coefficient, were performed to evaluate the connection between their responses using the KNIME analytical software. According to the study, the typical response rate at which individuals responded to agree to questions regarding their educational experience in the FFC classroom is approximately 82 mean percentage score (MPS) with a CV of 0.196. Also, the mean response rate from the students who agreed that the University management should invest in FFCs is 86 MPS and 0.288 CV. Key insights from the further analysis include the correlation of students’ responses to interpret the determining factors for their responses. These results indicate that most of the students that participated in the study are prepared to have more experiences in the FFCs for improved technology-enhanced learning and new pedagogy. Education policymakers should consider the use of communication and information technology in university classrooms to enhance students’ engagement and improve pedagogy, which can lead to improved academic performance.
