This study confirms therelative scarcity of liberal arts courses in the undergraduate experience: “only four coursesoutside of science, mathematics, and technology—introduction to economics, Englishcomposition, general psychology, and introduction to management—turn up frequently ontranscripts” (Adelman 1998). The authors’ study confirms these findings, except the presence ofa psychology course, of which only two civil engineering schools specifically require. This islikely a difference between civil and other branches of engineering.

Although the number ofunderrepresented groups pursing degrees and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) is increasing – the number of people from underrepresented communities,such as Hispanic or Latino, as well as women, remains unequal [2].Engineering is a STEM domain in which underrepresented groups continue to remain
