工程已被证明是经济和技术发展的研究和实践的一个重要领域，也是学生提高生活水平和社区的一个机会。工程也有可能提供一个强大的职业道路的地方，遭受不成比例的经济损失，在全球经济的变化，特别是随着移动的通信技术的增长，使虚拟工作和本地业务的发展，在以前被认为是“偏远”或“无法访问”的地区。尽管有这些机会，迄今为止，很少有调查工作已经做了招聘工程专业学生从农村文化，通常是代表性不足的领域。为了解决这一差距，本文探讨了两个这样的文化：美国的阿巴拉契亚中部和新西兰的毛利人。我们提出了一个审查的现状，在每个地区，沿着从阿巴拉契亚学生的研究的初步结果，以确定两个民族之间的相似之处和差异，可以用来加强招聘工作，并提供一个全球范围内了解农村文化的经验。
Engineering has been shown to be an important field of study and practice for economic and technological development, as well as an opportunity for students to improve their standard of living and their communities. Engineering also has the potential to provide a powerful career path in places that suffer disproportionate economic losses from shifts in the global economy, particularly as the growth of mobile communication technologies enable virtual work and local business development in areas formerly considered “remote” or “inaccessible.” Despite these opportunities, little investigative work to date has been done on recruitment of engineering students from rural cultures that are typically underrepresented in the field. To address this gap, this paper explores two such cultures: the Central Appalachians in the United States of America and the Maori in New Zealand. We present a review of the current situation in each region, along with preliminary findings from a study of Appalachian students, to identify both similarities and differences between the two peoples that can be used to enhance recruitment efforts and provide a global context for understanding the experiences of rural cultures.
