experience.Throughout the implementation of FDS, several valuable lessons were learned, providinginsights into areas for improvement and refinement. One key lesson was the importance ofongoing communication and engagement with participants before, during, and after thesymposium. Building and sustaining relationships with Hispanic engineering faculty membersrequired proactive outreach efforts, personalized communication channels, and responsivesupport mechanisms. Additionally, leveraging technology and digital platforms to enhancevirtual participation and engagement emerged as a valuable lesson learned during the COVID-19pandemic. Integrating virtual components into future FDS events could extend accessibility andreach, accommodating diverse schedules and

/exclusion criteria[18], we collected 218 articles on STEM HSI education in general. To narrow our focus, weadded a criterion to include only articles that addressed engineering undergraduate education,resulting in a final selection of 37 articles for this paper.Databases and Search TermsWe used four databases: Education Source, Academic Search Complete, ProfessionalDevelopment Collection, and ERIC. After we tried several search terms, we used the final searchterms of “Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics3” and “Hispanic Serving” or“Hispanic-Serving” in the abstract, title, or as keywords. We also included subdisciplines in thesearch terms, such as bioengineering.Selection and Screening ProcessInclusion CriteriaAligned with the principles
