thoughresearch has shown the importance of including and promoting education about the value ofengineering to society, other studies point to a culture of engineering still characterized by a lackof empathy, social relevance, and emotion16–18. Students seem to internalize this environment asthey progress through college, and graduate with decreased social responsibility and publicwelfare beliefs16,19.While engineering clearly does have a large impact on society, and the positive aspects of thisimpact can be tools for recruitment and retention of underrepresented students, it is still unknownhow students perceive and value the impact they could have on society through their careers.Research QuestionThis research seeks to understand how fourth year

about preparing Americanengineers to work abroad surfaced after World War II, with diplomatic and internationaldevelopment concerns acting as primary drivers.6 During this period, a handful of commentatorsstarted discussing specific attributes and experiences that could enable these new career paths,including some supporting roles that schools of engineering might play. Paul McKee, Presidentof Pacific Power and Light Company, took one of the more conservative positions of the time: [I]f one is to practice engineering abroad, he should first of all be given the finest and highest type of engineering education available. … [F]rom an educational standpoint the best possible basic training for work abroad is a sound and
