Our critical analysis of career historyinterviews with 15 engineers committed to ethics and equity highlight three such barriers: 1)dominant narratives in engineering that make it difficult for social justice viewpoints to beacknowledged; 2) limited organizational influence on the part of junior engineers trying tochallenge inequitable workplace practices; and 3) a fear that raising equity issues will result inpersonal attacks rather than positive change. Together, these three barriers—raised almostexclusively by female, racially under-represented, and LGBTQ

Engineering educatorswork to identify the most appropriate curricular approaches to address these outcomes withintheir programs [2], [3].Internships or co-op experiences as well as capstone design projects are some ways in whichschools can address these important student outcomes in their curriculum. When incorporatingthese high impact experiences into a curriculum, research has also shown that internships thatdirectly relate to the academic program provide higher internship satisfaction and a higherperceived relevance to student’s career development [4].
