Rather the solution must includethe innovation of properly pricing and incorporating “caring” as a “quality factor” ofengineering work. This solution should include compensation with an appropriatefinancial wage (or alternative employment benefit for caring service provided).BackgroundFrom before 2002 through after 2013, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) ofthe United States of American undertook an intentional effort to “rebrand” theengineering profession [1, 2, 3].

Therefore, employers need to recruit skilledworkers and provide targeted training to workers in order to achieve the desired project outcomesand organizational goals. To effectively recruit and train workers, construction companies shouldfirst determine what traits and skills help workers succeed in their jobs, especially constructionproject management jobs.Beyond technical competence, [1] and [14] noted that personality characteristics are essential forthe job performance of construction workers.

Six major themes emerged in the data related to the mental health impacts of being anunderrepresented engineering student:1) a sense of not belonging;2) student reproduction of the culture of stress;3) additional labor that is invisible and unacknowledged;4) fear of being weeded out;5) burn out and mental exhaustion; and6) modifications toward self-care.The students’ narratives showed the mental health

Recent work has extended the acknowledgement ofdiscipline-specific intuition to engineering [6]. Intuition use in the workforce supports quickerand more efficient outcomes [1]-[7]. In engineering, intuition allows practitioners to navigateconstraints and ambiguity in problem solving [6].In models of expertise development, intuition is a skill specifically held by the expert and is usedfor making informed and accurate decisions without the need for time consuming analysis andconsideration of alternatives [8

class. Sense of belonging was measured by surveysat the beginning and end of the course. Students were asked to respond to questions about their per-ceived comfort in the classroom, perceived isolation, and perceived support from course staff andother students. We note that the whole class’s sense of belonging statistically increases from thebeginning to the end of the semester in both sections. Furthermore, the increased sense of belong-ing is more pronounced in the in-person section. Based on our findings, we conclude that onlinesections for on-campus students may be an effective way to accommodate large class sizes, in-creased enrollment pressure, and students’ need for flexibility, while not disadvantaging students’learning outcomes.1

Six components emerged: (1) internal environment, (2) competence, (3)motivation, (4) belongingness, (5) assimilation, and (6) external environment. The internal environmentprovides individual context – one’s cultural commitment and identity. Competence is how studentsperceive engineering concepts and their ability to achieve them.

The curricular design principle was based on the integration of subjects, termed asnon-IT subjects, into core engineering subjects.

[2] both discuss how these factors continue to contribute to theunderrepresentation of women and people of color in the STEM industry. This is attributed to the“leaky pipeline” phenomenon where women lose interest in engineering as their careerprogresses due to continuous barriers such discrimination, inequitable resources andopportunities [2]. This further contributes to the loss of interest in STEM as young women andpeople of color achieve new milestones in their careers.
