U.S.filled in 47% of all jobs but only 24% of the STEM jobs [6]. In other words, 76% of the STEMjobs are held by men. In community services, women had a volunteer rate of 27.8% in 2015compared to men 21.8%. Women volunteered at a higher rate than men and this was true acrossall age groups, educational levels, and major demographics characteristics (such as race andemployment status) [7].Influence is closely associated with leadership. A capable leader provides guidance at theworkplace, home, and/or community [8]. It follows that, those influencing are consideredefficient leaders that motivate their colleagues, family or community [9, 10].

Project courses for all majors. The importance of understanding risk andliability, of continuous professional development including licensure, and of ethics inengineering practice, all of which are relevant concepts for an entrepreneurial approach toengineering, have been stressed. Historically, senior projects that have led to longer-termstudent-private sector collaborations or even student-initiated business have been rare.Recently, entrepreneurship at Pitt-Johnstown has experienced a revitalization. A renewed pushto create an Entrepreneurial Studies program came from Pitt-Johnstown President Jem Spectar in2011.

In using the Product ArchaeologyCanvas, students must “excavate” public information on all of these factors for an over-the-counter medical device. Like an archaeologist, they needed to create a plausible and coherentnarrative of the decisions the company made in moving that product idea to the customer. Withthis background they become forward-thinking intrapreneurs – proposing a way to increase thevalue of their product but in a way that balanced all of the various constraints and perspectives.

Among the NAE aspirations for the engineeringfield is “a future where engineers are prepared to adapt to changes in global forces and trendsand to ethically assist the world in creating a balance in the standard of living for developing anddeveloped countries alike”3.

Recognizing the need, many engineeringschools in the U.S. have started offering ethics and study abroad programs to their undergraduatestudents. Our research shows that selection of countries for study abroad programs have widenedsignificantly in the recent years. For example, in the nineties, the US Universities were offeringstudy abroad programs mostly in European and few other developed countries in the Asia pacificregion. In recent years, that list has grown significantly including many other countries aroundthe world like South Africa, Brazil, Russia, China, Chile, and India to name a few.

For example, oneparticular case study in Gary Downey’s book highlighted the challenges inimplementation of a program to connect student engineers with underserved communitiesin an international setting. Differences in culture and language coupled with thegeographical distance compounded made the project untenable and it had to stop. Someof the reasons she cited included that “the large body of knowledge in the developmentarea was not readily accessible or available to engineers,” and students did not activelyseek out the ethical and social understanding necessary

As a result, as the construction sector becomes increasinglyglobalized and complex, the need for DEI has grown, not only for ethical reasons but also todrive innovation and problem-solving [9].To address these systemic issues, higher education institutions play a crucial role in shaping thefuture workforce of the construction industry.
