Next, I present preliminary ethnographic data that showshow engineers in different US corporate locations view and experience organizational change asone of the features of globalization. Illustrating the differences among engineers’ experiencescould help upcoming generations of engineering students and professionals understand ways inwhich they might experience globalization in the workplace.

aerospace industry. The project was assigned to a team of graduatestudents to devise an engineering solution while advised by a faculty. Due to the difficulty andexpense required in obtaining commercial aircraft equipment and working in a commercialaerospace setting, the project was distilled to a simpler version in which the object of analysiswas a simple cantilever beam. This allowed the students to navigate the same fundamentalchallenges present in traditional aerospace settings on a much more manageable scale. Theprocess and skills required in completing the project can be directly transferred to industry. Toaccomplish this project, the following phases were implemented:- Experimentation: The experimental set-up included a simple cantilever

IntroductionIn Fall 2014, women represented only 11.3% of computer science and computer engineering, and12.2% of aerospace and mechanical engineering students enrolled in these programs at CaliforniaState University Long Beach (CSULB). Figures 1 and 2 show the applications and enrollments byfirst-time freshman (FTF) in the computer engineering and computer science programs from Fall2003 thru Fall 2014. As can be seen from these figures, the one consistent trend is the lowrepresentation by women in applications and in enrollments, signaling a need for increasedrecruitment.As is the case with nearly all of the computing programs in the US, demand for and enrollment inthese majors continues to grow[1, 2].

The standard practice in aerospace design is to quantify certainmaterial properties in terms of sample averages [5], a practice that has been in-use since at leastthe 1960’s [6]. This practice similarly ignores sources of variability, and exposes aircraftpassengers to elevated levels of risk.Figure 1. A rod with uniform cross-section, loaded in uniaxial tension.
