Taken together, these results suggest that the Wooden Bike Frame Challenge improvesstudent knowledge of advanced statics concepts, specifically structural analysis, and connectsthese concepts to real-world design scenarios.While it is not the first statics based PBL exercise, the Wooden Bike Frame Challenge is avaluable addition to the engineering education literature.

, also influential in this process is the presence of a mentor or rolemodel. Previous studies of undergraduate females suggest the greatest need for role models is forthose students pursuing a nontraditional career [16]. This outlook is reflected in several aviationstudies that address both recruitment and retention of female pilots. A lack of a visible femalerole model was cited as one of the top barriers to outreach [17] [18]. Females in aviation maintenance also experience this challenge. One study found that thetop three barriers preventing women from pursuing a career in aviation maintenance are theabsence of role models, mentors, and personal contacts [20].
