Latinx students, engineering educators have a unique opportunity toapply their engineering design expertise to innovate the educational experience of their students. InDesign Thinking, one key feature is the emphasis on user engagement and developing a deepunderstanding of a user’s needs, environment, and assets [7]. Educators, as educational designers, shouldfirst seek to understand the unique characteristics of the students in their programs.
