Gender bias and stereotypes remain prevalent in STEM, particularly in electrical engineering. This study used a narrative inquiry approach to examine the experiences of three female electrical engineering interns from San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines, focusing on the challenges, opportunities, and coping strategies they encountered. By sharing their stories, the study highlighted the unique difficulties faced by these women and how they navigated professional environments, contributing to discussions on gender inequality in STEM. The findings revealed several challenges, including gender bias and heavy workloads. Nonetheless, the interns gained valuable skills, often supported by positive workplace environments and helpful supervisors. This contrasts with other studies suggesting that women leave engineering due to low pay or work-life balance issues; instead, participants here sought work-life balance and mentorship to manage challenges. Despite limited time and diverse experiences across different internships, the study provided insights into how women develop resilience and career growth within electrical engineering. These findings emphasize the need for inclusive practices and mentorship to support women in engineering, promoting a more equitable STEM field and advancing understanding of how women can thrive professionally despite structural barriers by societal norms.
