European Journal of Engineering Education, v30 n4 p469-476 Dec 2005
The Jerusalem College of Technology is an institution for higher education in Israel, where the majority of the students study towards an undergraduate degree in Engineering (Electronics, Applied Optics, Computers, etc.). The studies are held on three different campuses, one campus for men and two for women. We describe the organization of the Foundation Year (i.e. the basic first year courses), and discuss the similarities and differences between the male and female populations, with respect to their learning skills and performances. (Contains 2 tables and 6 figures.)
