Investigating the relations of ethnicity to female students’ perceptions and intention to major in engineering using social cognitive theory

Abstract: This paper describes the first phase of a mixedmethod study employing a social cognitive theoretical framework that emphasizes the interplay of person factors, environment and behavior. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relations of ethnicity to female students' perceptions and intention to major in engineering.
