In Hispanic culture, the importance of family – in Spanish “familia” – is critical.Lack of instrumental support from parents during the transition to college can leave these studentsfeeling isolated with no place to turn for help.Consequently, SHPE has developed Equipando Padres (Equipping Parents), a program with the goal toprovide parents of first-gen and low socioeconomic status (SES) Hispanic students with the knowledgeand tools to better support their children earning engineering degrees. This program, created incollaboration with Raytheon Technologies and with supplemental support from the United EngineeringFoundation, aims to fill the parent programming gap by

The COVID-19 Pandemic haslikely further decreased opportunities for elementary students to engage in engineering as theirteachers grappled with reduced contact time, integration of new technologies and pedagogicalapproaches, and remote/virtual learning. The purpose of this qualitative case study was todescribe how an elementary teacher attended to engineering instruction during virtual learningdespite the barriers presented by the pandemic.

of engineering students has been a known problem and still affectsinstitutions today. Due to the significance of this problem, there have been many studies onengineering students’ knowledge retention and its causes [4], [8],[11], [14], [19]. More recently,links have been drawn between engineering student retention and a feeling of community with afocus on problems relevant to the students' current engineering practice [20]. It has been said, that for any science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) class,teaching methods aimed at improving knowledge retention should expose students to real-worldproblems that highlight potential career opportunities [5]. In most statics classes, the problemsare heavily focused on concepts that are
