To encourage students to pursue the career in this field,internship opportunities are often offered to the next generation of engineers, introducing them tofundamentals of earthquake engineering that they will work on in the professional setting.Community colleges such as Cañada College serve as the gateway

While many studies have investigated these problemsand interventions to address them [4], fewer have addressed promotion policy reform and theprocesses by which institutions have attempted to transform incongruous, gendered systems tomore equitable systems where rewards are aligned with institutional mission and values.Scholars have also examined the problem of

Traditionally, students enroll in courses and earn a degreeattending the same four-year institution. While this method is appropriate for many students,other paths are becoming increasingly popular. An alternative path is through the use oftwo year institutions as a mechanism for the completion of a four year degree. Today,many students are choosing to begin their college career at community colleges andtransfer to a four year institution after a period of time to complete their degree.

For example,how students conceive a particular discipline or career will influence this decision, as what theybelieve it to involve will likely affect their interest in engaging with it. In engineering, studentsoften have misconceptions regarding what it means to be an engineer and the Draw-an-EngineerTest (DAET) has frequently been used to investigate these misconceptions.Studies using DAET have found that young students typically conceive engineers
