The first to systematically compare Caucasians, African Americans, and Asian Americans in engineering, this study of the career attainment and mobility of engineers in the United States tells how these three groups fare in the American engineering labor market and what they can look forward to in the future. The numbers of black and Asian engineers recently have grown at a much faster rate than the number of Caucasian engineers. With a projected steady increase in engineering jobs and demographic shifts, this trend should continue. Yet, recent writings on the engineering profession have said little about career mobility beyond graduation. This book identifies and explores key issues determining whether minorities in the US will attain occupational equality with their Caucasian counterparts. Highlighting implications for theory, policy making, and the future of the profession, Doing Engineering offers important insights into labor, race and ethnicity that will be of interest to anyone studying stratification in a wide range of professional occupations.

Engineering skills and knowledge are foundational to technological innovation and development that drive long-term economic growth and help solve societal challenges. Therefore, to ensure national competitiveness and quality of life it is important to understand and to continuously adapt and improve the educational and career pathways of engineers in the United States. To gather this understanding it is necessary to study the people with the engineering skills and knowledge as well as the evolving system of institutions, policies, markets, people, and other resources that together prepare, deploy, and replenish the nation's engineering workforce. This report explores the characteristics and career choices of engineering graduates, particularly those with a BS or MS degree, who constitute the vast majority of degreed engineers, as well as the characteristics of those with non-engineering degrees who are employed as engineers in the United States. It provides insight into their educational and career pathways and related decision making, the forces that influence their decisions, and the implications for major elements of engineering education-to-workforce pathways.

Engineering is a vital profession that has shaped the modern world and transformed countless aspects of our lives. From bridges to skyscrapers, from medical devices to digital technologies, engineers have been at the forefront of innovation and progress. Yet with this great power comes great responsibility. As engineers, we have an ethical obligation to use our skills and knowledge for the public good, and to behave in a manner that is consistent with the highest principles of integrity, honesty, and accountability. This book is intended as a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of professional ethics for engineering graduate students. It is designed to provide a strong foundation for understanding the ethical challenges that engineers face, and to develop the skills and knowledge needed to navigate these challenges effectively. The book is structured around several key themes, including an overview of professional ethics, ethical decision-making frameworks, central responsibilities of engineers, and intellectual property rights and ethics. In each chapter, we explore the essential concepts and principles of professional ethics in engineering, drawing on real-world case studies and examples to illustrate the application of these principles in practice. We also provide exercises and worksheets to encourage students to reflect on and apply ethical principles to their own work. The goal of this book is not to provide a set of hard and fast rules, but rather to encourage critical thinking, reflection, and ethical awareness. We believe that ethical decision-making is a process that requires careful consideration of a range of factors, and that there are often no easy answers or simple solutions. By equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate these challenges, we hope to contribute to the development of a new generation of engineers who are committed to ethical conduct and the public good. We would like to express our gratitude to the many colleagues, students, and professionals who have provided valuable feedback and insights throughout the development of this book. We hope that it will serve as a valuable resource for engineering graduate students and others seeking to understand and navigate the complex ethical challenges of the engineering profession.

A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
