]. Shortly after World War I, there was an increasing classconsciousness within the American Society of Mechanical Engineers which led Thorstein Veblen[36], however erroneously, to posit in Engineers and the Price System that if there were to be aworkers’ revolution in industrial America, it would come via a “Soviet of Technicians.” Layton[37] unpacks Veblen’s errors in reading the power, position, and organization of the engineeringprofession.This internal contradiction has historically led to tensions within groups of engineers, with moremanagerial-minded engineers veering and lobbying for the growth of professional societies,which largely worked to exclude other technical workers as a means to protect the white-collarclass position of engineers

Throughout the process, I was struck by the fact thatpracticing engineers on the site describe how they love their jobs, but are very vocal about thefact that they face barriers because they are women and that engineering is a difficult anddemanding profession. Furthermore, young women are encouraged to use individual strategiesthat often focus on cultivating a confident subjectivity and engaging in hard work to overcomebarriers in engineering. While such advice may seem to progressive, in many ways it contributesto the maintenance of gender inequalities in

Research also shows that themost valued career path among doctoral engineering students is that of academia, but there isalso a limited number of tenure-track positions that may be available for students in the future[3]. This trend means that future efforts for the preparation of graduate engineering students forthe professoriate must involve actions that contribute to the professional development of futureeffective and equity-minded engineering educators with an emphasis on pedagogical methods.Prepared or not, the reality is that doctoral
