“…This study found that Asian women appreciated their relationship with professional alters who shared similar demographic backgrounds. Research indicates that female engineering students report a lack of support during internships [57], particularly from their supervisors [58], [59]. In contrast to male interns, female students report difficulty receiving adequate feedback and answers to their inquiries [58].…”

“…Research indicates that female engineering students report a lack of support during internships [57], particularly from their supervisors [58], [59]. In contrast to male interns, female students report difficulty receiving adequate feedback and answers to their inquiries [58]. In the study conducted by Anderson and colleagues [59], female students are more likely to report that their mentors as not always attentive to queries.…”

works as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In his current position, he is in charge of examining and facilitating mentoring systems at the National Engineering Research Center, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. Prior to joining the University of Michigan, he was a student pursuing a doctorate in civil engineering at the University of Florida's Simmons Research Lab. He earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering both from Virginia Tech. Leadership development, workforce development, career development, professional work values, social ties, worker safety, and intersectionality studies are among his research interests.

“…Fewer studies have looked at the various impacts of positive internship experiences on women. For women, these experiences may be even more important as they can help to emphasize the differences between the academic and professional worlds, allowing students to be more prepared for life after graduation [21].…”

This paper is a work in progress (WIP) that explores the experiences of a female undergraduate engineer, Kayla 1 , in both professional and academic settings. Studies have found that women who persist in engineering describe themselves as having an engineering identity [1]. According to Faulkner, however, the normative engineering culture tends to make working relationships easier for men than women, and women are "visible as women, yet invisible as engineers" [2, p. 169]. This study focuses on the non-normative setting and culture of Kayla's internship due to its online format and strong female presence.The work presented in this paper primarily examined her internship experiences with a company that "took pride in hiring female engineering graduates" and was "very accepting of women in engineering." Two frameworks were used to explore Kayla's workplace experiences: Faulkner's concept of in/authenticity [2], [3] and Godwin and Lee's engineering identity framework [4]. To understand Kayla's workplace experiences, our methodology followed the autoethnographic steps outlined by Chang [5]. This work has demonstrated how having a strong female presence to guide an aspiring woman in engineering encouraged her to authentically continue on this path and recognize her engineering identity.1 Kayla is a co-author of this paper, and as such her identity has not been blinded.
