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 will also be consulted for relevant information related to this study. The research work is adopting both the primary and the secondary method, the primary method will involve: the use of questionnaires and interviews. The secondary method will include the past performance of the student in terms of academic records and achievements of female students in the science and technology. The method of data will entail a descriptive and empirical analysis of the data gathered from the respondents.
