a lack of knowledge of engineering practices and thedistinction between engineering and scientific inquiry [1]. In addition to the natural science(physical science, earth and space science and life science standards), the NGSS includesstandards specific to engineering, technology and applications of science which must be taught,and which can be used to create assessments [2].As of June of 2023, 48 states have adopted NGSS or NGSS-based science standards [3]. AsNGSS has been adopted and implemented across the US, K-12 teachers are tasked with findingways to incorporate engineering practices in their science lessons, despite having little formaltraining as part of the teacher certification process. This has led to an increased need
articlesaddressing STEM undergraduate education at HSIs. Employing inclusion/exclusion criteria [9],we initially gathered 218 articles related to STEM education at HSIs. For the specific focus onengineering undergraduate education in this paper, we refined our criteria, resulting in a total of37 articles.Databases and search termsWe utilized four databases: Education Source, Academic Search Complete, ProfessionalDevelopment Collection, and ERIC. After experimenting with various search terms, our finalcriteria included “Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics” and “Hispanic Serving” or“Hispanic-Serving” in the abstract, title, or keywords. We also incorporated subdisciplines, suchas bioengineering, to ensure a comprehensive search.Selection and

This underscores the criticalimportance of the problem definition and goal development phase in ensuring the ultimate success of theproject [1].Conventional engineering design commonly relies on an exclusively "bottom-up" approach, assuming thestatus quo and proceeding incrementally towards externally defined technological goals. While this methodallows for identifying short-term, narrowly focused solutions, it raises concerns regarding

(i.e.,muscular, extreme strength, womanizer, lack of emotions, calculating, rich, and tech savvy) withthe characteristics of mechanical engineers, the meme reinforces the perception of engineering asa domain dominated by masculine strength and power. The portrayal of Iron Man, aquintessential symbol of masculinity and technological prowess, further underscores theassociation between engineering and hypermasculinity, perpetuating a narrative of maledominance and superiority. This may also convey the message that being a mechanical engineeris grandiose or that it can lead to grandiose things, and that any other engineering majors (e.g.,civil, industrial) may fall short. Moreover, the image of Iron Man – shown as “ready to fight,”with his fist on

of the disciplines working in the integrative field is also vital to success. The key isenabling individuals from different disciplines to work interactively to solve problems andinnovate within the selected field. An example of a good integration is engineering and businessworking on blockchain and financial technology. This area requires complete integration ofexpertise from these two disciplines to develop new ideas and solutions. One Director describedthe selection of the integrative field as “Emerging and will be impacting (society), almost cuttingacross disciplines. A Big umbrella where people can have flexibility to create their own world.”As seen in Equation 1 the integrative field term is in the exponent. This means the degree
