From the interest and personality aspect, Holland’s Theory of Careers has beenreferred to and extended to the academic domain (Schmitt, Oswald, Friede, Imus, & Merritt,2008). Holland’s theory (Holland, 1985) is based on six basic vocational interests (Realistic,Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) that connect the individuals’personalities and the environment they work in.From the identity approach, Godwin et al., (Godwin, Potvin, Hazari, & Lock, 2016) havehighlighted the importance of students’ self-beliefs when they choose any Engineering disciplineat the beginning of college. Such beliefs can help students to explain such complex decisionswhich

, some engineering instructors have used such assignments to help students understandreal-world applications of course concepts [8] and engage in hands-on learning [9].The unique component of our scavenger hunt assignment is its story-driven learning basis (i.e., thereflection and projection components): by having students tell the story of their path into AE andprojecting what a future story of their college and professional career may look like, students mustconsider who they are as engineers and what they want out of their college experience, particularly theparts related to AE. Authors of a prior story-driven learning study found that such reflecting andstorytelling, along with instructor and peer feedback, helped students develop clarity in

andmentors, seeing women that look like them is a significant factor in both recruitment and retention [2, 3].Data showed that in the U.S. only 6% of 15-year old young women are interested in engineering careers[1]. Researchers believe that the low level of interest in young women is due to lack of exposure and thebelief that it is too hard and by engaging young women with university faculty and women engineers inthe industry as early as middle school could result in a higher interest to pursue engineering education inthe future [2]. A program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute showed that early intervention was associatedwith better engineering and university recruitment outcomes [4]. Another study showed that a sustainedintervention led to
