This study investigated middle school students' interests and perceptions of the importance of developing their knowledge and skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In addition, the study also investigated the effect of gender on students’ interests and perceptions. One hundred fifty-four students participated in the study. Data were collected using a survey consisting of 48 questions divided into four major categories: demographics, students’ knowledge about the job market in relation to STEM, students’ interest in STEM subjects, and students’ perceptions of the importance of a solid knowledge of STEM on their future careers. The results indicated that all students believed that having good scientific knowledge and skills are important to get a decent job in today’s market. In addition, the results of the study showed that gender was not a significant factor on students’ interests in STEM; female students were more interested in learning Chemistry and Biology, while male students were more interested in learning Mathematics.
