Having afather who is an electrical engineer, according to Bhee, has played an undeniable role in her pathto engineering. He is the person who first introduced her to the idea of space exploration; he is“very into photography” and so is she; he is the only person who supported her idea of coming tothe United States for higher education in engineering, despite financial concerns; and he is theone in the family who provided enough freedom for her to try different

Small objects can beattached to different locations on an aircraft to change the center of gravity and to facilitateflying of the aircraft. Students can explore such effects during their test fly and undersupervision of the instructor. At the end of this session, aircraft that flies the longest distance ischosen as the winning design, regardless of weight or size. This module is the least challengingbecause the design process involves fewer steps and foam boards are easy to handle for highschool students.Figure 6: Aircraft Design and Competition

Some of these include exhibiting astrong academic performance, completing an internship, participating in a research project witha faculty member, or taking a leadership role in a professional student chapter.

Such an understanding remains a goal and challenge for engineering educationresearchers as well as faculty and other stakeholders in student success.Nevertheless, exploring the school-to-work transition has proven to be especially challenging(Stevens & Vinson, 2016). Researchers have studied engineering practice through in-depthobservations and ethnographic methods (e.g., (Bucciarelli, 2001; Faulkner, 2007; Trevelyan, 2010),but these studies have primarily focused on experienced engineers.

Briefly,this perspective argues that identities are situated in social and cultural worlds that are populatedby social types that members of those worlds recognize as meaningful, i.e., their actions and theiruse of cultural artifacts such as words, images or texts [8].
