One key lesson was the importance ofongoing communication and engagement with participants before, during, and after thesymposium. Building and sustaining relationships with Hispanic engineering faculty membersrequired proactive outreach efforts, personalized communication channels, and responsivesupport mechanisms. Additionally, leveraging technology and digital platforms to enhancevirtual participation and engagement emerged as a valuable lesson learned during the COVID-19pandemic.

having a goodunderstanding of what engineering is as a major and a field. That understanding itself variesdepending on what type of engineering program the first year student is in, and what gender theyare. The majority of participants however saw engineering as cross functional, responding thatengineers work with people, machines and technology to solve problems and help society. Thismultifaceted view is a positive sign for the freshmen engineers, as they will often have to workon projects and in areas that can span several engineering and non-engineering fields. Regardlessof major, the first year students showed a grasp of the fundamentals of engineering beingproblem solving and improving.Incoming engineering students also have largely
