andcorporate executives with backgrounds in engineering, in propagating the growth of corporatecapitalism and shaping the positions of engineers within corporations. Noble describes howengineers leveraged their societal relationship to technological development and production by“informing their work with the historical imperatives of corporate growth, stability, and control… the engineers, moreover, went a step further to ensure that their technical work meshed withthe imperatives of corporate social relations; rather than restricting their attention to technicalmatters, they consciously undertook to structure the labor force and foster the social habitsdemanded by corporate capitalism” [1]. As engineers serve capitalism via industry, they rejecttheir

Natasha pointed out the tinkering nature of engineers by describing hercolleagues as men that are “[…] at home playing with Raspberry Pi [a small, inexpensivecomputer, namely used by programming hobbyists] and building Ham radios.” They often spokeof these traits as if they were not traits that they possessed themselves, but they acknowledgedthem as traits of “true” engineers. “I don’t relish in wanting to tinker with something that’sbroke.

determining their persistence in engineering careers 4.Largely unexplored, however, is the role of the subconscious in determining persistence inengineering majors and careers – this is the domain of implicit cognition.Explicit and implicit cognition are related but distinct concepts 5. Explicit cognition includesconscious choices, judgments, and declarations (e.g. “I believe that men and women are equallygood at math.”). In contrast, implicit cognition operates without conscious awareness or control,and mediates thought, feeling, and action (e.g., 6-9). Implicit attitudes (e.g. “Math is good.”) andstereotypes (e.g. “Engineers are male.”), along with self-concept (e.g. “I am male.”) interact withone another in the prediction of science, technology
