HC often consists of positive(inclusive) or negative (exclusionary) systemic messages that are structurally supported andsustained [2]. HC affects everyone but people with limited access to social and institutionalcapital are the most prone to be affected negatively by HC (e.g., first-generation) [1],[2]. The U.S. Department of Education classifies first-generation (FG) college students asthose who came from families where neither parent obtained a four-year college degree [3]. FGstudents are disproportionally people of color (POC) [4], therefore their disenfranchised andmarginal identities are intersectional [5]. The

engineering students be taught in their college programs? This is aquestion raised by many, and which can lead to spirited debates. To provide some guidance,ABET provides some general guidance from professional engineering societies through theirrequired “Student Outcomes” [1]. To be educated to be a practicing engineer, students mustlearn the technical details of subjects important in their discipline. But ABET also recognizesthe need for students to learn non-technical subjects, as graduates should be able to so suchthings as include non-technical components such as cultural factors in their designs, and makeengineering judgements based on societal contexts. Various authors have also discussed theimportance of bringing more non-technical subjects

Therefore, employers need to recruit skilledworkers and provide targeted training to workers in order to achieve the desired project outcomesand organizational goals. To effectively recruit and train workers, construction companies shouldfirst determine what traits and skills help workers succeed in their jobs, especially constructionproject management jobs.Beyond technical competence, [1] and [14] noted that personality characteristics are essential forthe job performance of construction workers.

Therefore, integrating sustainabilityconcepts into first year courses that are common to all engineering majors may help ensure thatall engineering students are at least introduced to the concepts of sustainability.There are many definitions of sustainability. Some definitions of sustainability include: capableof being sustained, of or relating to a method of harvesting such that the resources are notdepleted, and development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the abilityof future generations to meet their own needs [6].
