graduates and institutional support at their post-graduation employer (typically auniversity or academic institution) are key to increasing the representation of minorities inSTEM faculty roles [4]. To increase the number of doctoral degrees earned, there must be anincrease in the number of Hispanic students entering graduate programs. According to theEngineering by the Numbers ASEE report, even though Hispanics represent 18.7% of the USpopulation, only 9.2% and 6.1% of master and doctoral degrees, respectively, are awarded toHispanic recipients [5]. Further, the numbers decrease again when faculty appointments areconsidered, where only 3.6% of faculty appointments in engineering are held by Hispanicprofessors.Convincingly, increasing Hispanic
