Studies found that some of theparticipants described their professional workplaces as boys clubs as they were run by agedwhite heterosexual men who do not know how to interact with women and integrate women intothe community of a company. This lack of ability to integrate women into the culture andaccepted practices within an organization has been observed to negatively and positively impactwomen experiences in the workplace. Positively women expressed the ability for them tosurprise their supervisors with their technical abilities. On the contrary women also

Forexample, it has been argued that engineering education should put greater emphasis onengineers’ social responsibility toward "an equal distribution of rights, opportunities, andresources in order to enhance human capabilities and reduce the risk and harms among thecitizens of a society" [4, p. 10]. Thus, complementary education on social justice implications ofcivil engineering may benefit civil engineering education further.We argue that integration of social implications

First, simple loops with an LED ora motor were built in order to understand the closed loop setting and how to power a circuit. Afterthat, the integrated development environment (IDE) was introduced and students learned how theycan install the IDE on the computers, how to locate examples, and how to download them ontotheir boards [10].

Three types of WBEs arerepresented: internships (Study 1), apprenticeships (Study 2), and company employees (Study 3).All three studies used the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) methodology which hasbeen established in 80 studies worldwide and over a dozen peer-reviewed publications.

By requiring students to go through training inboth the sophomore and seniors years, we hope to achieve maximum impact. The early exposureas sophomores will give the students a chance to apply the concepts they learn throughout theiracademic careers, while the second round of training as seniors will serve as a refresher coursebefore they begin their team-based senior projects and, later, enter the engineering workforce.We specifically designed this training curriculum to
