For the first fifteen years of the camp, students were resided on campus and attendedclasses which culminated in model plane building. By 2014 the program's goals no longeraligned with reports which highlighted race, gender, and income disparities in STEM.Recognizing this, members of the engineering faculty determined that a camp that does notreflect the target demographic of students in its staff nor accommodate for low-income families,was an ineffective way to reach students falling on the

this masculine perspective underlies the hierarchy in how categories and sub-categories of faculty work are weighted in promotion, tenure, and salary decisions. For example,more “pure” scholarship is given more status and rewards: theory over application, quantitativeover qualitative, publishing over presenting, academic audiences over public audiences. Inaddition, work associated with students is devalued, and service to national organizations,conferences, or journals carries more weight than university or community service [17].Ultimately, Park argues for redefining and assessing scholarship as a way for universities tovalue women and fairly evaluate their contributions.Regardless of the values inherent in promotion systems, studies show

For undergraduates,this is professional ethics in an industrial or consulting context.1 For graduate students, whosetraining is preparation for a career in research, this is typically research ethics, implicitly in anacademic context.2 Thus, both construe the responsibilities of the engineer relatively narrowly.In particular, the concerns of each taper dramatically as the borders of the immediate work siteare crossed.
