contributed to the training and development of faculty in developing and evaluating various engineering curriculum and courses at UPRM, applying the outcome-based educational framework. She has also incorporated theories on social cognitive career choices and student attrition mitigation to investigate the effectiveness of institutional interventions in increasing the retention and academic success of talented engineering students from economically disadvantaged families. She’s also involved in a project that explores the relationship between the institutional policies at UPRM and faculty and graduate students’ motivation to create good relationships between advisors and advisees.Dr. Christopher Papadopoulos, University of

education beyond my undergrad degree, but I decided to stay at MIT for MEngbecause of the encouragement of NEET instructors and through learning about their careers. Theother class of role models was my peers either in my NEET Autonomous Machines cohort or inthe cohort that was older than me. I saw the amazing work they did, and I strove to challengemyself similarly in my coursework, research, and industry experiences.”“[#10] I appreciated the patience, kindness, and efforts of the technical instructors in NEET andtried to emulate these characteristics when I TA’ed [assisted lecturers in the teaching of] classeslater on (specifically, I developed better spoken and written communication skills andcollaboration skills).”“[#12] I can't say that I

intheir professional careers, whether in jobs or internships. This highlights the significantprofessional development opportunities available through participation in these teams,suggesting that students who do not join or cannot join due to time constraints may miss out onvaluable experiences that could benefit their entire engineering career.Communication is a critical skill for engineers, as they often need to collaborate with otherengineers and stakeholders. In many engineering roles, engineers also function as managers orcoordinators, making effective communication essential for their daily tasks. Furthermore,engineering work is typically project-based, with many projects lacking a predefined solution.Engineers are responsible for defining
