AB  - Engineering is critical to our nation’s global competitiveness, and the demand to fill engineering jobs is projected to grow substantially over the next decade (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018). To meet this demand, efforts are needed to broaden the involvement of underrepresented racial minorities (URM) in engineering. Latino and Latinas have one of the highest labor force participation rates (76%, and 55.8%, respectively; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017), but represented 6%, and 1%, respectively, of the engineering workforce (NCSES, 2017). 
Increased efforts across the engineering pipeline, but specifically during the college-to-work transition, are needed to broaden the participation of Latinxs. Among 2010-2013 engineering graduates, more URM were employed in non-science or engineering jobs (33.7%) in 2015, in contrast to Whites (14.1%; NCSES, 2017). More research is needed to understand the environmental factors that influence persistence decisions during the college-to-work transition and early career stages among URM in engineering. 
We will present data from a 5-year ongoing project. The data were collected through an online survey from a group of about 400 early career engineers who identified as Latine/Latinx/Hispanic in 2021 and 2022.  We will report scores on cultural measures (i.e., acculturation; enculturation) and work outcomes (i.e., goal progress; work satisfaction; life satisfaction; turnover intentions). We will examine differences in scores across groups based on gender, children/no children, organizational gender diversity, and organizational racial diversity. The findings may point to workplace factors that can facilitate or impede the retention of Latine engineers. Implications of the findings for enhancing the work experiences of Latine engineers and developing policies to create positive work environments for culturally diverse engineers will be discussed.
