For a uniformtenure and promotion process, a method of peer review is needed to validate this area ofscholarship.While it is great that faculty and students are engaged with improving the lives of the people intheir region, it is important to distinguish the scholarship of application from community serviceor service learning. One widespread view of scholarship is that it requires dissemination of theresults. When working with industry, dissemination of proprietary technical results is notpossible.

Most professors in Korean engineering colleges have beenmainly concerned about research productivity, while showing indifference to the quality ofteaching because they were largely evaluated on publications in SCI-rated research journals inorder to be successful in tenure or promotion. If a professor's research performance is competent,students’ poor rating won't be an issue. The faculty evaluation of teaching has not beenconsidered as important as research.

Specifically, the study is examining whether there arerhetorical differences in the way letters of recommendation (LOR) are written for applicantsfrom groups that are and are not underrepresented in engineering by gender and race/ethnicity.The weight placed on LOR in making admissions decisions is likely increasing at someinstitutions as undergraduate and graduate programs drop standardized test score requirements inthe hopes of improving equity [1].
