The researcher was investigating the career goals that undergraduatestudents have, and how those students use their career goals to make choices in the present[16].

Autoethnographic techniques are used to construct three accounts ofthe student’s encounters with an upper level administrator, various members of faculty, and anacademic advisor. Critical analysis of these experiences using a prior evidence-based model ofstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse reveals tensions between the freshmanstudent’s values and career interests and the emergent, dominant discourse he observed in hisundergraduate program. These tensions are described in terms of: i) The prioritization of nationaleconomic recovery and growth over the life and career goals of individuals; ii) A predominantfocus on the quantitative and technical aspects of

major with a high level of one-on-one advising. However, a high degree of flexibility also contributes. In the LSE program,iterative revision and recreation of an individualized curriculum and career plan are understoodas signs of success rather than failure or deviation. Students are encouraged to understand anddesign their major as a “whole-person technical degree” that does not require them to pass, toassimilate, to compartmentalize, or to conform to stereotypes. We suggest that this holisticflexibility may disrupt barriers such as impostor syndrome by positioning the student not asimpostor but as designer and creator – even when enrolled in technical courses in which thesex/gender ratio is skewed male.

science discipline uses a different definition for energy; this can createconfusion about energy for students as they continue through their studies [7, 8]. The lack ofcontext in engineering curricula and confusion around a definition of energy can prevent studentsfrom seeing the importance of energy, the role it plays in sociotechnical problem solving, and theimpact energy has on their own lives [7, 8].It is well-known that women are underrepresented in engineering [e.g. 9]. Research suggests onefactor that influences women to stay in engineering is finding a sense of belonging [10, 11].Research also suggests that presenting engineering within a societal context can help attract andretain women in engineering because women tend to choose career

In particular, her NSF-funded CAREER work has investigated how social relations—operationalized as social capi- tal—influence student academic decisions and success, especially for underrepresented and underserved students. Her CAREER research supports the need for continued proactive outreach, educational and support systems that have the potential to form ”resource-rich” networks in which students receive infor- mation and resources in routine exchanges.
