engineers gain the knowledge and experience they need tocarry out their work, gradually developing their professional judgment and growing moreindependent.Materials ObstaclesThe second type of obstacle we discovered were materials obstacles. Materials obstacles are notunique to early career engineers—they can happen to anyone. One of the important insights ofresearch in Science and Technology Studies, particularly in the work of Latour and Callon(Callon 1984, Johnson [Latour] 1988), was to show how material objects participate in scientificknowledge creation or social life, often through resisting or redirecting human effort. Thisinsight laid the groundwork for a body of work on how the material world plays an importantrole in social and scientific

American students have not seen commensurate increases in engineering fields.Diversifying the undergraduate engineering population has important consequences for ournation’s ability to meet the increasing demands for a larger technological and scientific laborforce. While diversifying engineering in the aggregate is both timely and critical, it is equallyimportant to consider the level of diversity within each engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical,Civil, Electrical, Chemical). When engineering disciplines are disaggregated, it is clear that somedisciplines are less diverse than others. Focusing on diversity at the discipline level has importantimplications for the design of effective department level programs and curricular interventions

Both of these had strong connections to engineering. The strongpositive rating for the India Inventors appears to be due to the positive impact on people in India.For the in class topics, most students chose the more technical topics on the Cost of Mars andCongolese Wireless Network (which is also a very dramatic story). As a general rule, the favoritetopics seem to be ones that involve the positive impact of technology on human need, that bringtogether the students’ expertise and career goals with their desire to help people and make adifference.Students selected most of the possible
