Screenshot of article. Title: “Do I Even Belong?”: Internships as Gendered Career Socialization Experiences in Engineering; Authors: Katie N. Smith, Ben Pincus, Annie M. Wofford, and Breann L. Branch. Abstract: Although many engineering students participate in industry internships during their bachelor’s programs, few studies have examined how students with minoritized gender identities experience these roles. To better understand internships as early career socialization experiences, we recruited undergraduate women in engineering to examine how internships influence their career development and goals....Synthesizing stories across multiple data sources, the findings include five major themes: recognizing and building hard and soft skills; clarification of career interests; managerial and organizational support; navigation of gender, age, and racial dynamics; and access to future professional opportunities.
