Organization is “an organization that facilitates thelearning of all its members and consciously transforms itself and its context”. A learningorganization exhibits five main characteristics: (1) systems thinking, (2) personal mastery, (3)mental models, (4) a shared vision, and (5) team learning. A brief overview of these, taken from[26], is presented below.Systems thinking: The idea of the learning organization developed from a body of work calledsystems thinking. This is a conceptual framework that allows people to study businesses asbounded objects. Learning organizations use this method of thinking when assessing theircompany and have information systems that measure the performance of the organization as awhole and of its various components

Thisstudy employed interviews to collect data on how engineering students of Central Appalachiadevelop interests, make choices, and achieve success in their academic and career experiences. Interms of engineering education access and job opportunities, the inhabitants of CentralAppalachia have historically faced a unique set of challenges. However, this study took an asset-based approach to understand the unique cultural capital these students hold.

socialrelationships and an understanding of social issues is extremely valuable for the development ofengineering students. Unfortunately, engineering programs emphasize the technical content sointensely that most engineering students do not get the opportunity to work with social issuesthus never creating that awareness.The focus on technical aspects of engineering, and the perception that engineering work isobjective, has also led engineering students to think about the profession as apolitical [8, 9].This depoliticization frames engineering as a technical space where the social and politicalsides are tangential to engineering decision-making. Cech argued that students'conceptualization of engineering as apolitical has also created issues related to
