Abstract
The 21st Century has ushered in awareness to female education on Science and Technology Courses in Nigeria. The rate of enrollment in higher institutions especially the private institutions in Nigeria are quite astonishing. This has led to the enquiry on the comparative assessment of the performances of both females and males in Science and Technology Courses. Covenant University Students of College of Science and Technology will be the focus of study. in order to elicit information on the interest and performance of the females and males in Science and technology courses. In addition, Centre for Information and Systems was also consulted for relevant information related to this study. The research work adopted both the primary and the secondary method; the primary method involved the use of questionnaires and interviews. The secondary method included the past performances of the students in terms of academic records and achievements of female students in the Science and Technology. The method of data analysis entailed descriptive and empirical analyses of the data gathered from the respondents. The empirical aspect involved independent sample analysis and regression to determine the nature of the relationship among the variables. The descriptive utilises the frequency and percentage distribution to analyse the responses from the targeted audience. The questions consists of two major parts; the first part seeks to ascertain vital information that patterns to the socio-demographic characteristic of the respondents and the second part focuses on the students’ performances in their courses as well as their cumulative grade points since the inception. The adoption of these methods in the analysis is to ascertain whether choice of courses in tertiary institutions is the keen interest of the males and females students or has been influenced by parents or guardians’ decision to study. In addition, the adoption of this method helps to validate the importance of Science and Technology to the female world, since the world is at present a global village
