Abstract(s)
Electrical/Electronic Engineering courses are often
regarded as male courses. In this paper it is presented a study
conducted in two Portuguese and two Brazilian high education
institutions (six courses) where the goal was to analyze if gender
affects students’ perceptions and satisfaction regarding
Electrical/Electronic Engineering courses. The analysis was
based on 654 questionnaires rating 44 items (among the six
groups: Teacher Involvement Perception, Student Interest,
Student-Teacher interaction, Course organization and
functioning, Infrastructures, and Overall satisfaction). The
investigation was performed by year, from the first to the third
year (1st cycle) and considering the six programs. Based on
students’ perceptions, some items showed differences that were
significant, namely the ones regarding how teachers and students
interact and how teachers challenge students.
