considerations. Through his discussion of Lund’s case,Davis argues that an engineer can object to work that would violate the code as anengineer rather than simply as an individual. If one objected to a project without theability to appeal to anything beyond one’s moral conscience, one might easily beconstrued as a moral crusader and may very well be fired and replaced by an engineergreater degree of moral malleability. By invoking one’s code, however, it immediatelybecomes apparent that other engineers are likely to similarly object. In this way, beingable to appeal to one’s profession as grounds for one’s objection carries with it additionalweight. It is less likely that another more opportunistic engineer will take one’s place,and provides something

While thislarger study will present the perspectives of these students currently enrolled in their engineeringdiscipline, a missing piece of this project revolves around how these students perceived ofengineering before they arrived to campus. Thus, the goal of this work is to investigate if andhow student perceptions of a specific engineering discipline – in this case mechanicalengineering – varies across ethnic or gender demographics among students

At the macro level, programs are thus divided into two categories: in class or out of class. ● Micro level – This organization further breaks down the macro level taxonomy into more specific temporal categories, as demonstrated in Table 2.Table 2: ​The temporal categories used for micro level organization.By Mission

In addition to feeling marginalized from their classmates, we expect that LGBTQstudents may not have their engineering work valued to the same extent or taken as seriously astheir non-LGBTQ peers [4]. Specifically, LGBTQ students may be less likely than their peers toreport that their classmates treat them with respect and that their engineering work is respected intheir classrooms. They may also be more likely to avoid working with a certain team or on acertain engineering project because they did not feel welcome. We also expect that LGBTQstudents will be more likely than their peers to have seen or heard offensive comments in theirengineering spaces.(3
