perceived as “real engineering”, which highlights an historically strong set of beliefs aboutpolitically or socially agnostic technical work coming into conflict with a systems approach [5](see also [11]).Riley et al. [12] point to limitations of service learning education in engineering generally, i.e.,limited student engagement with questions about the social, economic, and political interests metby the service learning framework. Relatedly, while Bielefeldt et al. [13] find that environmentalengineering faculty bring more topics about ethics and societal issues into their courseworkrelative to their peers in such fields as mechanical and civil engineering, they also find thatenvironmental engineering faculty perceive ethics and “broad impacts

Because this screening process centers around the violation of fit [46], subsuming relevantconcepts from person-environment fit theories into the unfolding model of turnover is warranted.However, I elaborate on aspects of this theory here to further explicate the direct contributions ofthe person-environment fit later.Person-Environment Fit TheoryPerson-environment fit theories assume people seek out and create

Studies have found that womenwho persist in engineering describe themselves as having an engineering identity [1]. Accordingto Faulkner, however, the normative engineering culture tends to make working relationshipseasier for men than women, and women are “visible as women, yet invisible as engineers” [2, p.169].
