engineers are responsible. Educating engineers for their career responsibilities hasalways been a priority of teaching institutions, but ethics education in engineering has not alwaysbeen a significant part of the curriculum. The importance of ethics training for students in otherfields such as medicine and psychology is more prevalent than that in the field of science andengineering. While the need for making ethical decisions for professionals in medicine andpsychology is apparent, it may not be so for engineers. Engineers make countless decisions thataffect the welfare of their corporations, their communities, and their professions. For instance, achemical engineer may have to choose between safety of those living near a plant and cost

(Fundamental, Diversity)Abstract Pre-college engineering education still struggles to implement curricula that engage adiverse range of students. Engineering for US All (e4usa) aims to fill this gap through a coursethat demystifies engineering while catering to a broad range of students. This paper examines theinfluence of the e4usa course on students’ engagement with engineering design, and theirunderstanding of engineering as a potential future educational and career pathway. Focus groupsessions were conducted with students from 12 participating schools during the 2020-21 schoolyear to examine how their interests and understanding of engineering were influenced by thecourse.

For example, at West Point only 1 or 2 cadets per year matriculate into theMedical Service Corps with the intent of becoming an Environmental Science & EngineeringOfficer. The more common pathway for West Point cadets is to enter the Engineer Branch andwork towards serving in a position that does environmental engineering work.

Development in Homogeneous Women GroupsBackgroundGender diversity in management within engineering companies not only yields positiveperformance outcomes but also improves corporate social responsibility [1]. For women’s careeradvancement to upper leadership positions in engineering firms, they must be prepared with keyleadership competencies. In many engineering organizations, success in leadership andmanagement roles is described in masculine terms and associated with stereotypical malecharacteristics [2]. Engineering leadership and one’s engineering leadership identity are oftenportrayed as a masculine practice so that success in leadership in an engineering career oftenmeans that women should learn to lead through a socialized masculine
