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.

IntroductionScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields are essential to America'seconomic growth and global competitiveness. However, there is a mismatch between the supplyand growing demand for STEM-skilled workers. According to the 2016 White House Report [1],there were over a million unfilled jobs in information technology across all sectors of theeconomy. The STEM workforce has grown
representing the various disciplinesand countries. This number of participants is considered sufficient to reach an acceptable levelof trustworthiness.ResultsThe interviews of faculty are ongoing during spring 2019. By March 2019, four interviewshad been conducted at the first university. By the time of the ASEE conference in June, allinterviews and a first round of analysis will have been completed, enabling presentation ofpreliminary results.The initial analyses made so far have identified the disciplines themselves as importantfactors in the variations noted. The more science-dominated engineering disciplines, includingbiotechnology and in one case energy, seem to expect less future change, whereas engineeringdisciplines such as mechanical and

The overarching objective of this project is to identify the kinds of scholarshipreadily accepted into the field of engineering education research through peer review processes,and the kinds that are not. By identifying what approaches, topics, theoretical frameworks, andmethodologies are accepted and not accepted through the peer review process, the field can bemore open to
