of education is likely tolead to a career in an engineering related field, there is a clear need to understand the factorswhich influence female students’ decisions to enroll in higher education engineering courses.There are many influences on students’ choices to pursue specific career paths. For example,how students conceive a particular discipline or career will influence this decision, as what theybelieve it to involve will likely affect their interest in engaging with it. In engineering, studentsoften have misconceptions regarding what it means to be an engineer and the Draw-an-EngineerTest (DAET) has frequently been used to investigate these misconceptions.Studies using DAET have found that young students typically conceive engineers

Mentorshipis an exceptionally effective method that is important for both the mentor and the mentee aslearning usually occurs on both ends. The CSRL implements mentorship by consistently providing equal opportunities forinvolvement regardless of the amount of experience an individual may have, or which genderthey might be. New students meet regularly with a faculty mentor, but are also encouraged toseek peer mentors. Almost immediately, mentees are given opportunities to work with theirmentors in helping

However, the choice to persist may not be as binaryas these two terms would imply.

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.
