In an attempt to facilitate this transition and motivate students as they begin theiracademic careers, many colleges provide summer bridge programs [1]. Summer bridge programsaim to provide incoming students with early contact and enriching experiences believed tofacilitate the acquisition of the skills needed to be successful in college. However, students canhave varying experiences even if they participate in the same activities. Since studies focusing onsummer bridge programs are typically quantitative and primarily focus on academic performanceand retention [2, 3], we know little about how these experiences vary and the many different waysstudents may

This lack of exposure isaugmented by the almost total absence of engineering within the school curriculum; meaningthat for most young people, upon leaving High School, engineering fails to register as apotential future study or career choice[16,17,18] .
