An Exploration of Critical Incidents Impacting Female Students’ Attitude Towards STEM Subjects

Abstract: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) subjects are extremely important to any nation's economy. For society to flourish sustainably there should be equal involvement of men and women in these professions.
