Is it a man in a hardhat standing over a set of engineering drawings, a computer programmer, or a solitary personworking on math problems? Whatever the image may be, it has likely been shaped by theportrayals of engineers within popular media. From Dilbert to Howard Wolowitz to Tony Stark,depictions of engineers cultivated in popular media reinforce cultural narratives about whatengineers do and who engineers are.
