championing change andsustainable solutions, whether as entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs [8]. However, many questionsremain in understanding when and how engineers perceive such societal influences andopportunities.One lens through which to examine societal factors and their linkages to engineering innovationefforts is the PESTEL-framework, which has traditionally been used as a strategic planning toolto analyze political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal opportunities andthreats in business environments. The framework draws from Aguilar’s concept of an ETPS(economic, technical, political, and social) analysis [9], and was expanded to STEPE, and laterPESTEL [10,11].

Educating EngineersDPD courses focus on providing students with the knowledge, understanding, andsensitivity to work and live in a diverse society. While many of our institutions,organizations, and neighborhoods remain largely segregated, particularly byrace/ethnicity, the overall trend toward greater diversity is well documented1.Engineering is one field that lacks the gender and ethnic diversity reflected in other fieldssuch as biology, medicine, and law. This lack of diversity was recently noted by formerPresident Clinton, resulting in the establishment of a national mentoring award forpersons bringing under-represented students into engineering2.
