There is a research reported the gender-differences and SES- differences in physics achievement. In general, male students have demonstrated higher scores than female students in physics. Similarly, students with higher levels of SES have been observed to outperform the students with lower levels of SES in terms of physics achievement (Yerdelen-Damar & Pesman, 2013).

these two groups is likely to be different, but there are also people whose jobs and training fall somewhere in the intersection of the others. Another complication is that English for engineers is also often meant for people working in full-time education, where the future job potentiality is unknown specifically as the syllabus of few subjects are interdisciplinary in first year later leading to a specialization of numerous different kinds of engineers like marine engineer, architectural engineer
