focus is on the intersecting factors of gender, socio-economic status [SES],national origin, and language, and its impact on Latinx persistence in engineering. In our study,persistence is defined as both completion of an engineering undergraduate program and stayingin the field for one year following graduation. Few studies examine persistence beyond graduation, and, because almost half ofengineering degree holders do not enter engineering occupations [2], we studied participantsduring a critical juncture in their trajectory — the last year of their studies and the first year oftheir professional lives — to better understand this phenomenon. Thus, the research is expectedto contribute to the extant knowledge base on Latinx’ positionality

However,while we have anecdotal information from students regarding their responses to many of theinterventions, we have not yet scientifically studied which interventions are important to which studentpopulations.

Three key changes were implemented: 1. The Capstone course was extended to two quarters. Capstone I is a two-credit course in which the students research the project and create a formal specification that must be approved by their industry mentor. Capstone II is a three-credit course in which the students actually build, debug and validate their design. Capstone II ends with a report, a
