The IC may also help design teams focusattention on critical issues that can determine the success of a new design and to recognize theinterconnection and overlap between the various technical and non-technical issues related tosuccessful product development. Another potential strength of the IC for use in a capstone designcourse is the “at-a-glance” view of the critical components that must be considered

Instead, they point to the ways in whichengineering is ‘raced’ white and ‘gendered’ male. To fully understand these two terms, however,it is valuable to think about gender and race from a more theoretical point of view than what wehave come to learn as “common sense.”Connell21 provides a clear treatment of the discussion of gender as

. Interestingly, however,people responsible for recruiting women may be failing to ask key questions that are atthe center of feminist theorizing. Namely, whether and how it is possible to definewomen as a homogenous group and if we ought to.23 Many feminist philosophersinterrogate this issue carefully because they are concerned about the implications of suchclassifications. For example, if we agree that there is an innate or biological basis that allwomen share, the traits that women presumably possess can easily be used to justify ornaturalize unequal power dimensions in society that impact women’s opportunities andsocial standing. Today gender scholars largely reject determinist or essential claims basedon biology, and make distinctions between sex as
