Her targeted campaigns raise the perceived stature of the organization and lead to successful institutional fundraising. After graduating from Williams College with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and French, Thuy earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Hawaii. In her early career, she was a research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and held management positions in several engineering firms, including CH2M HILL, Lockheed Martin, and Los Alamos Technical Associates.

Although strides have been made at the undergraduate level,diversity in faculty and academic administration positions still lags. This paper will present ourapproach and preliminary results of a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsoredcollaborative project to broaden the participation of underrepresented engineering minorities inengineering academia by providing participants with an improved skill set for entry into a facultyposition.

to amplify current efforts at HSIs? Given thediversity of the Latinx student population, this paper also explores differences in the perceptions ofeducators from two different geographical regions of the United States. Further, as educationalresponsibilities and passions can vary with instructor role (e.g., tenured, tenure-track, lecturers,professional faculty), this study examines the differences in perspectives across instructor role. Byunderstanding how engineering educators at HSIs describe their students, discrepancies can be identifiedwhich could lead to opportunities for affecting educational change, resulting in an improved educationalexperience at HSIs and other institutions educating Latinx engineers.MethodologyResearch project
