For instance, a longitudinal study that involved over 300 interviews with practicingengineers, survey data from nearly 400 engineers, and multiple years of participant observationsof Australasian engineers found that, “…more experienced engineers…had mostly realized thatthe real intellectual challenges in engineering involve people and technical issuessimultaneously. Most had found working with these challenges far more satisfying thanremaining entirely in the technical domain of objects” [5].

This may be notably different fromthe typical undergraduate as described by Balakrishnan and Tarlochan 10 who share aboutengineering students’ attitudes towards ethics in the engineering curriculum. They found thatinterest in socio-ethical issues is typically low. However, at the University of Notre Dame, allundergraduate students take multiple philosophy and theology courses 11 . These required coursesengender social consciousness in our students. We find that engineering students frequently askthe question, “How can I engineer for good in the world?” this aligned with the university mottoof being a force for good in the world.

Additional exploration of the lack of clarity in the promotion to full process has shown thatwomen were more likely to be suggested to “withdraw” their application for promotion before itwent through the evaluation process, making it more likely for them to do so [54]. This wasparticularly salient for women that studied non-traditional research areas, such as those focusedon issues of women in STEM [54].
