. They are doing this with hopes ofpersuading more students to pursue a career path related to the STEM (science, technology,engineering, and math) fields. The efforts of these organizations are well supported bytheoretical models [2],[3] and empirical studies [4-6] discussed later in this paper, that showinterest plays an important role in students’ college major and career choices.Studies also support that interest plays a role in a student’s decision to persist in engineering[7],[8]; this makes it important for engineering colleges to purposefully attempt to help studentsretain interest in engineering. Three main opportunities are present in post-secondary educationto help students maintain interest: courses and guest lectures, work (co-op

Our focus, at Arizona State University’s (ASU’s) FultonSchools of Engineering, has been on a longstanding ENG scholarship-projects-mentoring program at ourfour year ENG institution – a program serving mostly upper-division transfer students (generally about70%), some upper-division non-transfers (~25%) and scholars continuing as graduate students (~5%) thathave progressed through the program. Despite this, the ideas presented are useful for all ENG students. Wewant students to become aware, take control, and pursue

In order to address these issues, there have been a number studies in engineeringeducation exploring the area of academic persistence or the intention of a student to complete adegree in engineering as a way to increase the number of engineers and their diversity. Studiesby Seymour and Hewitt (1997), Huang, Taddese and Walter (2000), and Adelman (1998) haveexplored various areas of academic persistence in science and engineering including the impactsof gender and ethnicity on persistence3,4,5.

It is from this story that the term Mentoring originated. Mentoring isoften defined as a way to coach and guide individuals to a successful career path and is used as apositive organizational tool. The organizations usually implement mentoring programs topromote a healthy work life and create a better outcome for organizational goals.

More specifically, we use Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory to investigatehow career-embedded proud moments contribute to engineers’ leadership development. Ourteam identified four types of proud moments along with corresponding leadership lessons in thecareer history narratives of 29 senior engineers. This four-part proud moment typology—honingprofessional dexterity, mobilizing teams, realizing values, and driving excellence—illustratesfour distinct ways that engineers can and do institutionalize leadership in their respectiveworkplaces. This finding suggests that proud moments are not only personally
