Yet, job market growth in recent years has nearly all come from small companies, and most economists predict this trend to continue into the 21st century.”The large majority of current curricula, however, do not provide the benefits of an engineeringperspective to those who do not anticipate a traditional career in engineering.

fundamental concept in Civil Engineeringeducation could help attract and retain students. Research has identified helping others andequity as motivating some students to pursue engineering [e.g.,19]. But some students also leaveengineering when they perceive other majors as more supportive of those goals (e.g., [20], [21]).Thus, introducing students to equitable infrastructure in early civil engineering courses mightinspire students to choose and persist in careers in civil engineering.Further, research into career choices has shown a perception by students that STEM fields are inopposition to the goal of helping others, and this has been identified as a possible contributingfactor to underrepresentation of women in these fields [22].
