With a smalldataset, we aim to start to delve into these questions.2.0 Background of the StudyTo situate our work, we begin with an overview of environmental engineering degree attainmentin the United States by gender, race, and ethnicity, and consider broadly relevant dimensions ofstudents’ environmental engineering educational experience. We then explore the cultural andinstitutional spaces that environmental engineering graduates move into as they enter theworkforce. Specifically, we consider the gendered and racialized social context within whichenvironmental engineering majors make decisions about their careers—how gender and racefactor into the impact of
