Many of the upperclassmen in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville stated that if they had known they would use a specific topic from thePhysics, Calculus, or Linear Algebra classes they would have paid more attention to the materialwhen taking the class since they would have some idea how they would use that knowledge intheir junior/senior years. With these reasons in mind, a new laboratory exercise involving threedimensional simulations of six degree of freedom physics based models for unmanned vehicleswas developed

Most likely I never dreamed beyond that because I didn’t have any women role models in engineering and wasn’t aware of any women in top-level positions in engineering. I do think maybe that kept me from developing a career plan and dreaming further.Furthermore, another participant who did not have a career plan explained, When I started my career there were so many opportunities and I didn’t want to limit myself by having an end state in mind.
