Without financial orinstitutional support, there are limited opportunities for educators from different Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) to engage in conversations about their curricula developments andshare their vision for the future of engineering education.

In Fall2018, the course description was not posted when the course schedule was released, possibly dueto an administrative error. The absence of course details may account for why less than half thestudents were from the College of Engineering, unlike Spring 2019 and Fall 2019.
