. R. Jamaal Downey and Idalis Villanueva Alarcón,Introduction The hidden curriculum (HC) has been traditionally viewed as the unwritten, unofficial,and often unintended messages (e.g., assumptions, lessons, values, beliefs, attitudes, andperspectives) that are not openly acknowledged in each environment [1] [2]. More specificallyrelated to engineering/education, HC is hidden under the veil of norms, professionalism, andstandards which prioritizes the current status quo of dominant identities in engineering (e.g.,white, male, meritocratic) [1]. The presence of hidden curriculum (HC) in our educational institutions is unquestioned.Hidden curriculum can be perceived as both helpful or hurtful depending on the messages

This transition period is known to define thecritical decisions students may make in subsequent years. Findings from a study led by Katanis[1] found that the expectations students set for their first-year experiences were either partiallyor not met.

Overall, the literature review has uncovered several research gaps that the engineeringeducation should begin addressing.Conceptual Framework The conceptual framework for the larger study is based on Eccles’ Situated Expectancy-Value Theory (SEVT), a motivation theory that focuses on understanding student achievement-related choices through expectancy and subjective task values (Eccles, 1983; Eccles & Wigfield,2020; M. Te Wang & Eccles, 2013; Wigfield & Eccles, 2000). We employed the socializerperspective with which Eccles and colleagues argued that student expectancy and subjective taskvalues are influenced by their surroundings, including the instructors and learning environments(Eccles, 2007).
