, Engineering Professions, Quantitative Analysis, Cluster Analysis,Graduate Education, Career Paths1 IntroductionOne often neglected aspect of engineering education is career education. Along with theaccumulation of disciplinary knowledge and skills, students also develop an identity as anengineer [34]—a sense of “who I want to become” and “what I want to do”. Career choice isarguably one of the most important decisions students make as they navigate through theirengineering education. However, senior engineering students are often found unsure about orstruggling with career decisions [34]-[36]. Moreover, while engineering schools endeavor todiversify their educational offerings to meet students’ needs of pursuing various careertrajectories

Those show gendered and race-based patterns. Many of the activities thatare integral to the reputation and function of an organization are often performed by women andfaculty of color. These activities, especially administrative and curriculum-based ones, tend torequire time and expertise but are not typically rewarded in traditional academic promotionstructures [1, 33, 6, 34, 31, 35].
