Gender Differences in the Influence of Learning Experiences on Perceived Creative and Integrative Competencies Among Engineering Students

This study examines gender differences in perceived Creative and Integrative Competencies (CIC) among engineering undergraduate students and explores how learning experiences influence CIC across gender groups. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted, using data from the 2021 National Assessment of Student Engagement in Learning (NASEL). The results indicate that male students reported higher perceived CIC than their female counterparts. While learning experiences positively influenced CIC in both groups, the impacts varied. Male students benefited more from competitive learning experiences, such as class presentations and discussions and competitions, whereas female students experienced greater gains from collaborative learning experiences, including team projects and group study activities. These results highlight the importance of gender-responsive educational approaches in engineering education and emphasize the need for pedagogical strategies tailored to enhance female students’ CIC.
